We're an integrative specialty veterinary clinic providing services including acupuncture, chiropractic care and rehabilitation for dogs and cats! Our office is a privately owned, non-corporate practice. We are seeking a full-time veterinary assistant to join our team of dedicated staff. Daily duties will include:
