Over 30,000 pet owners in the Northern Kentucky – Greater Cincinnati area trust their pet’s healthcare to PetWow!
Who We Are:
PetWow is a family-owned veterinary company founded in 1971. We operate two Northern Kentucky hospitals and a fleet of mobile wellness vehicles serving the Greater Cincinnati area.
Our mission is simple: strengthen people and pets by making pet care easy.
We work hard, move quickly, and care deeply about our team, clients, and patients. We believe great pet care starts with great people, which is why we focus on creating a supportive and team-oriented workplace with opportunities to grow, regular recognition for strong performance, and a servant leadership approach.
We are looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dependable Veterinary Surgical Assistant to welcome to our team.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced veterinary hospital where advanced technical skills, teamwork, and attention to detail are essential and utilized daily. Veterinary Surgical Assistants play a critical role in induction/anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, and patient recovery while partnering closely with our veterinarians to deliver exceptional medical care.
To provide the best possible care for our patients, team members should be comfortable working within our operating hours and maintaining flexibility as scheduling needs arise. While this position is primarily based at one hospital location, occasional coverage at our nearby hospitals (all within a 15-mile radius) may be requested to support our teams and patients. Because schedules are built around patient care needs, some week-to-week variation may occur. Candidates with reliable availability, adaptability, and a collaborative, team-focused approach will be especially successful in this role.

· Intubate canine and feline patients and monitor anesthesia throughout procedures

· Monitor hospitalized patients and provide nursing care
Successful team members in this role:
· Stay calm, positive, and dependable in a fast-paced environment
· Handle pets safely, confidently, and compassionately
· Communicate professionally with clients and coworkers
· Multitask effectively while maintaining attention to detail
· Take initiative and work well as part of a team
· Adapt quickly to changing patient and hospital needs
· Take pride in providing excellent patient and client care
Requirements
Must have prior experience working in a veterinary clinic or animal hospital with a demonstrable skill set.
·Ability to handle and restrain animals safely and compassionately.
·Excellent attention to detail and ability to multitask.
·Effective and professional communication skills, both verbal and written.
