Whether it’s facilitating well-check exams, administering laboratory tests, or assisting during surgery, vet techs support veterinarians in meeting the diagnostic and treatment needs of sick and healthy animals.
A vet tech performs a wide variety of animal nursing duties under the direction of a licensed veterinarian.
