Do you enjoy the company of animals, or particularly pets? The pet care field is a growing industry where an increasing number of people choose pets as a part of their household. Veterinary assistants play an increasingly vital role in assisting veterinarians with day-to-day tasks, including surgical preparation, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, and much more.
Reeves College's Veterinary Health Care Assistant program will train you in the skills needed to perform clinical and administrative tasks within a veterinary clinic or hospital. Learn everything from animal husbandry and nutrition to breeding and breed identification and veterinary office procedures so you can help the vet clinic run smoothly.
In addition to your diploma, you will gain industry certifications including DOGSAFE® Canine First Aid, Standard First Aid and CPR ‘C’ and WHMIS 2015. Before you graduate, you will also complete a six-week practicum in a real-world veterinary setting to prepare you for your new career.
