Veterinary Clinical Assistant

Make an impact by joining our team and caring for the pets and people who love them!

Over 30,000 pet owners in the Northern Kentucky – Greater Cincinnati area trust their pet’s healthcare to PetWOW!

Who We Are:

PetWow is a family-owned veterinary company founded in 1971. We operate two Northern Kentucky hospitals and a fleet of mobile wellness vehicles serving the Greater Cincinnati area.

Our mission is simple: strengthen people and pets by making pet care easy.

We work hard, move quickly, and care deeply about our team, clients, and patients. We believe great pet care starts with great people, which is why we focus on creating a supportive and team-oriented workplace with opportunities to grow, regular recognition for strong performance, and a servant leadership approach.

We are looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dependable Veterinary Assistant to welcome to our team.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced veterinary environment where teamwork, adaptability, and attention to detail are essential.
