Veterinary Assistant (Urgent & Primary Care)

Are you ready to take the next step in your veterinary career—or begin building one? At Petzoic Vet Hospital, we’re looking for Veterinary Assistants who want more than just a job. Whether you’re:

  • An experienced TA or industry professional ready to grow without pursuing a medical license, or
  • An RVT or Veterinary Student looking to learn medicine and gain real-world experience,

this role is your opportunity to deepen your skills, expand your knowledge, and be part of a team that’s reshaping veterinary care in Calgary.

About Petzoic Vet Hospital

Petzoic is not just another animal hospital—we’re astate-of-the-art facility redefining what pet care looks like in this new era of veterinary medicine. We believe in more than treatment—we believe in people, culture, and innovation. Our team thrives on:

  • Collaboration & communication in a positive, supportive environment.
  • Continuous training and development for personal and professional growth.
  • Prioritizing mental health alongside patient care.
  • Living our core values every day: Integrity. Inspire. Innovate.

The Role

As a Veterinary Assistant at Petzoic, you’ll work side-by-side with our veterinarians in both Urgent Care and Primary Care settings. You’ll gain exposure to medicine, client service, and hospital operations—all while making a meaningful impact on pets and their families.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assisting veterinarians in exam rooms with SOAP templates, treatment plans, invoices, and medications.
  • Preparing exam rooms, surgical areas, and equipment for procedures.
  • Providing hands-on care before, during, and after exams and treatments.
  • Supporting diagnostic procedures (X-rays, lab work).
  • Communicating with clients, including education, follow-up calls, and care instructions.
  • Managing email correspondence, scheduling, and client records.
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and organized hospital environment.
  • Cross-training and collaborating with VTAs and VMRs for smooth workflow.

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong interest in veterinary medicine and animal care.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a team.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
  • Calm and adaptable in a fast-paced hospital environment.
  • Veterinary medical terminology and prior clinic experience are required.

What We Offer

We believe careers should be built around you. That’s why we offer a personalized benefits plan you design for yourself, with options including:

  • Competitive pay structure.
  • Health, Dental, and Prescription coverage.
  • Health Spending Account (HSA).
  • Life insurance.
  • Uniform allowance.
  • Training courses, CE, and conference support.
  • Tuition reimbursement or student loan repayment.
  • Lifestyle & wellness perks (gym memberships, transit pass contributions, etc.).
  • Additional paid days off (CE, sick days, birthday, special events).
  • Opportunities to work with advanced technology and learn directly from veterinarians and RVTs.

Join Our Team

This is more than an assistant role—it’s a career builder. If you’re ready to learn, grow, and be part of a forward-thinking veterinary hospital, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today by submitting your resume and cover letter.
