Sano Hospital for Animals
Vet assistant job in Aspen Park, CO

Over the first 12 weeks a new veterinaryassistants training will progress through the following:
- Proper cleaning and disinfection of floors, kennels and surgical equipment.

- Assisting the veterinarian in exam rooms and learning to invoice clients.
- Prepare lab samples for outside labs and process samples in-house via automated machines.
- Final phase of training involves direct care of patients. Assistants will learn to administer medications both orally and intravenously, adjust IV lines and fluid pumps, and finally assist in surgery with documenting anesthesia parameters and safely recovering anesthesia patients.
Not every aspect of the job is glamorous, but every aspect of the job is imperative to the lives and wellbeing of our patients.
