Your Experience Matters. Come Put It to Work!

Coronado Veterinary Hospital is looking for an experienced Veterinary Technician to join our team!

We're a busy small animal hospital offering both general practice and urgent care services. Our days are filled with everything from routine wellness visits and dentistry to surgery, diagnostics, and patients needing more immediate attention. No two days are quite the same!

We're looking for someone who brings strong technical skills, excellent client communication, and the confidence that comes with several years of hands-on experience.

Our ideal candidate is someone who can jump into a busy day, anticipate what needs to be done, and help keep things moving while making sure our patients and clients receive the attention and care they deserve.

What You'll Be Doing

• Assisting veterinarians with examinations, treatments, diagnostics, and procedures.

• Communicating confidently with clients about treatment plans, medications, discharge instructions, and follow-up care.

• Performing venipuncture, placing IV catheters, and collecting diagnostic samples.

• Performing in-house laboratory testing and assisting with diagnostic imaging.

• Administering medications and treatments as directed by the veterinarian.

• Assisting with surgery, dentistry, anesthesia monitoring, and patient recovery.

• Recognizing changes in patient status and communicating concerns promptly.

• Maintaining accurate medical records and helping ensure clear communication between the medical team and clients.

• Supporting teammates and helping maintain an organized, efficient hospital.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on veterinary technician experience in a small animal hospital.

• Excellent client communication skills. You can explain medical information clearly, educate pet owners, and navigate difficult conversations with professionalism and compassion.

• Strong technical skills and the confidence to perform routine procedures with minimal supervision.

• Solid understanding of veterinary nursing, patient monitoring, and safe animal handling.

• Ability to prioritize tasks, think critically, and adapt to changing patient needs.

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to patient safety.

• A team-oriented attitude and willingness to support coworkers during busy or challenging days.

• CVT, RVT, or LVT certification preferred, but not required.

Experience in urgent care, anesthesia, surgery, or dentistry is a plus!
