Priority is given to those in school in a related field (Veterinary Medicine/Veterinary Technology/etc)

This position does not required any previous training, experience or schooling, though it will be an asset that will be taken into consideration for hiring. Preference will be given to veterinary industry students.

A summer student is in charge of assisting the Team with animal restraint, cleaning kennels, laundry, pressure washing, vacuuming, mopping, emptying garbages as well as any other side jobs where extra hands are needed.
