Spicewood Springs Animal Hospital is seeking an experienced full-time Kennel Technician to join our AAHA accredited practice. We also have a second location, Spicewood Springs Cat Hospital, right around the corner from our main location. This position would be scheduled between both hospitals.
We work as a team to provide the highest standards of medicine in a warm and compassionate environment.
Kennel technicians monitor pets and provide necessary services for a safe, clean, and healthy stay. During each shift, kennel technicians perform various tasks, including feeding, medicating, exercising, cleaning up after the animals, and showing compassion and care for all our boarders.
Kennel technician qualifications include, but are not limited to:
- Comfortable handling dogs and cats
- Strong customer service skills
- Must be able to work weekends and holidays
- Maintain appearance of kennel and/or hospital
- Feed dogs and cats and provide medications as needed
- Perform basic grooming services such as baths, nail trims, and ear cleanings
- Have a strong work ethic - working in a kennel requires a lot of energy; it is not just an opportunity to play with dogs and cats
- Assist Veterinary Technicians with patient restraint as needed
- Able to stand for at least 5 hours at a time
- Must be able to lift 40 lbs
We offer flexible scheduling, a pet discount plan, continuing education opportunities, and a retirement plan.
