A veterinary technician is a credentialed professional whose job involves helping all types of animals live healthy and happy lives.

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. Since states regulate the types of tasks that vet techs can perform, the scope of responsibilities can vary by location. Generally, a vet tech is authorized to do any task assigned by a licensed veterinarian, with the exception of diagnosing medical conditions, prescribing medications, and performing surgery. Knowledge of EzyVet a plus!
