Licensed Veterinary Technician

Mandak Veterinary Services is looking for a friendly, hard-working Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) to join our team!
We know how important it is to enjoy where you work and have a life outside of it, too. We do our best to create a workplace where employees feel comfortable, valued, and excited to come to work.
We’re a privately owned practice that focuses on quality medicine, along with alternative options, to best serve our community. We take pride in creating a family-like atmosphere and building real relationships with our clients and their pets.
