Tyler Animal Emergency Hospital is proud to serve the pets and people of Smith County and beyond, treating over 6,000 pets annually. Our goal is to provide your furry friend with compassionate, outstanding care when your regular Veterinarian cannot.

Our hospital offers full service urgent care, emergency medicine, surgery, and the only hospital in East Texas with 24/7 intensive care capabilities and staffing.

The veterinary technician assists the veterinarian with everyday necessary tasks, takes care of the everyday needs of pets in the hospital ward and boarding facility (if necessary), and helps maintains the hospital facility, keeping it neat and clean. You will play a crucial role in providing exceptional care to our furry patients and supporting our veterinary team.
