Description

If you love the challenge of complex surgical cases but still value the variety and relationships of general practice, this role was built for you!

At Brekke Veterinary Clinic, we practice progressive, high-level medicine within a general practice setting. Our Registered Veterinary Technicians are deeply involved in patient care, diagnostics, surgical planning, anesthesia, and recovery.  RVTs are trusted as essential medical professionals for the patients, clients, and veterinary team.

• Advanced soft-tissue surgeries include (but not limited to) oral surgery, splenectomy, foreign body, cystotomy, and more
