FAQs
Where is the largest demand for veterinary technicians?
All over the country, veterinary technicians are in high demand. Pet ownership is on the rise, and with it comes the need for skilled, compassionate care. And while jobs across the veterinary industry are in high demand nationwide, a handful of states rank as those most hankering for your skills.
That’s a wide and wonderful range of places to consider living and working in. Whether you’re drawn to the sunshine of Florida, the mountains of Colorado, or the bustling city of New York, there is sure to be an opening ready for your expertise.
What are the most sought-after skills as a veterinary technician?
Veterinary technicians offer real-time support during routine visits, procedures, and surgeries. It is crucial, then, for a vet tech to be highly skilled and competent. Here are a few skills to master as a vet tech:
Technical Skills: As a vet tech, most states require you to have completed an associate's degree and passed a certification exam. Once you're on the job, you are expected to have a solid working knowledge of all that you have been taught in veterinary school. Of course, nothing can replace on-the-job learning—and you will hone your technical skills with each patient you see. But, as a veterinary technician, you are expected to have a level of mastery when you begin.
Patient Care: Not only should you have a firm handle on veterinary terminology and techniques, but you also want to have a deep love for your patient.
Collaboration: Working at a veterinary clinic or animal hospital is much like working with a family. It is very much a team effort. Whether discussing an upcoming procedure with your DVM, scheduling an appointment through the front desk, or assisting in cleaning up the examination room, it is crucial to build strong relationships with your colleagues.
While there are a number of other skills any vet tech would benefit from having (the ability to get a kennel looking spick and span, for one), these three will serve you well as you support your DVM and care for each companion animal that comes to the clinic.
What are the benefits of being a vet tech?
Working as a veterinary technician is a wonderful job. You are the veterinarian’s right-hand person, go-to colleague. You assist in everything from taking samples for lab work to administering anesthesia to helping during surgeries. It is important and valuable work.
And you trained hard for it. Most states require you to have your associate’s degree and pass a certification exam to become a veterinary technician. This allows you to have more responsibility than the veterinarian assistant and more of a voice at the table. But you don’t have the full weight that a DVM or veterinarian practice owner carries (at least not yet).
