    Job Description

    Grass lakes Animal Hospital

    Grass lake, Michigan

    Position: Licensed Veterinary Technician – Help Us Help Paws!
    Location: Grass Lake, Michigan
    Employment Type: Full-Time | Occasional Pet Wrangler

    Salary: starting at $24.00 for LVT

    Sing-on Bonus: Eligibility for up to $1000 based on licensure and experience.

    Are you fluent in barks, meows, and the occasional hiss? Do you have a heart bigger than a Great Dane and the reflexes of a caffeinated squirrel? Then you might be just the superhero sidekick we’re looking for at Grass Lake Animal Hospital in the charming village of Grass Lake, Michigan.

    About the Role:
    We’re on the hunt for a Licensed Veterinary Technician or an Experienced Veterinary Assistant who doesn’t mind a little fur on their scrubs and knows the difference between a pit bull and a porcupine (important). You’ll work alongside veterinarians and fellow animal lovers to:

    Cuddle stressed-out critters (yes, it’s a job requirement)
    Keep exam rooms clean and stocked—because no one wants to search for the thermometer after the patient arrives
    Take vitals and assist during exams and procedures
    Assist Doctors with surgeries
    Administer medications and treatments as directed by the veterinarian
    Collect and process laboratory samples such as blood, urine, and feces
    Handle administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments and answering phones
    Educate pet parents without using too much Latin
    Provide TLC to both four-legged and two-legged clients

    Who You Are:

    High school diploma or equivalent; additional certification in Animal Care or related field is a plus.
    Licensed in the state of MI and in good standing with the board for all LVTs
    Previous experience in a veterinary or animal care setting is a must.
    Physical ability to lift and handle animals of varying sizes
    You’re not squeamish (because things will ooze)
    You know how to keep your cool during a Chihuahua tantrum
    You’re a team player with a strong stomach and a soft heart
    Bonus points if you can do all this while holding a cup of coffee
    Why Grass Lake?
    Besides being the home of your new favorite clinic, Grass Lake is pure Michigan charm:
    Paddle your stress away at Grass Lake or kayak the Waterloo Recreation Area
    Hike or bike scenic trails like Waterloo-Pinckney Trail
    Shop local at the Downtown Grass Lake Farmers Market (llama sightings possible!)
    Catch live music and classic cars at the summer Traffic Jam’In Festival
    And yes, we’re close enough to Ann Arbor if you need a city fix—but far enough that you can see the stars at night.

    Perks Include:

    CE - $1500
    Uniform allowance
    PTO and Sick time
    Additional benefits
    Discounts on pet care (Fluffy and Fido will thank you)
    Supportive, drama-free team (we save the drama for the llamas)
    Endless supply of treats—for patients and team members
