Career Choices for Veterinary Technicians
An unknown author once said “They might be only here for a part of your life, but to them, you are their whole life.” That is my favorite quote regarding pets. Animals play a major role in our lives. Whether we use them to nourish our bodies, a mode of transportation, helping us plow fields, or even just a being to talk and cry with. As I sit here typing this paper, while my cat; Pancake, flicks her tail in my face and my dog, Holly Berry chews on her bone on the floor, I wonder how different my life would be if I didn’t have the opportunity to rescue these loving companions and share my home with them. Because let’s face it, YouTube and life in general would be a pretty boring place without cats, and cat videos on the internet.
The animal care field has come an amazing way since the beginning of time. There are veterinary hospitals in every city, pet groomers, doggy day care, and even pet psychics. The possibilities are endless for the veterinary technician. This book has touched on a lot of the different areas, fields, and specialties the veterinary technician can work at. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone thinking about starting their journey into the animal care field. With the job descriptions, salary, and qualifications information on a number of areas, I easily rate this book a 10.
Having basic business skills are important for any profession. I believe my strongest areas of skills would have to be oral and written communication, the ability to lead, and organize. Being about to talk to a client about their animals health or teaching a client on administering medication or a monthly heartworm preventative is very vital in working in a small animal hospital. Teaching someone the ropes of how a veterinary hospital works is easy, it’s the person you train responsibility to
