What are the responsibilities and job description for the Canine Care Specialist position at Best Friends Fur Ever?

At Best Friends Fur Ever, we believe every dog deserves comfort, confidence, and compassionate care—especially during recovery. Our Assisted Canine Care (ACC ) program bridges the gap between veterinary treatment and home life, offering structured recovery, attentive supervision, and genuine love to dogs healing from surgery, illness, or chronic conditions.

We’re seeking a Canine Care Specialist to join our growing ACC team. This role is ideal for someone with a background in animal care, veterinary support, or rehabilitation who thrives in a nurturing, detail-oriented environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide individualized care for dogs recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic illness.
  • Administer medications accurately and on time according to veterinary instructions.
  • Monitor and document each dog’s condition, behavior, and progress.
  • Collaborate closely with veterinarians to follow discharge and recovery plans.
  • Maintain calm, clean, and comfortable recovery spaces for dogs in our care.
  • Support pet parents with clear communication, compassion, and reassurance.
  • Ensure safety and consistency in all aspects of care—feeding, exercise, and enrichment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Veterinary Technician or Veterinary Assistant certification.
  • Experience in veterinary assistance, animal care, or related fields.
  • Confidence in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and medical needs.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow medical protocols.
  • Empathy, patience, and a passion for helping animals heal and thrive.
  • Team-oriented mindset and commitment to excellence in every aspect of care.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Work alongside experienced, caring professionals in a supportive environment.
  • Join a company redefining pet wellness through innovation and heart.
  • Opportunities for training, growth, and collaboration with veterinary partners.
  • Help dogs—and their families—recover with dignity, safety, and love.
