Veterinary Technician Job Overview

The role of the veterinary technician is similar to that of a registered nurse in a doctor’s office. Vet techs are the veterinarian’s right hand.  Vet techs can specialize in several different areas of medicine, including dentistry, anesthesia, nutrition and pathology. Vet techs often supervise other members of the veterinary care team such as the veterinary assistant. Depending on the work environment, the daily tasks of a veterinary technician can include:

  • Taking patient history for animals presenting for treatment
  • Collecting specimens and performing laboratory tests
  • Preparing animals for surgery, which can include administering anesthesia and monitoring the animal during surgery
  • Taking X-rays and performing other diagnostic tests
  • Cleaning animals’ teeth
  • Interpreting laboratory and diagnostic tests and communicating results to treating clinicians
  • Giving specialized nursing care to critically ill or injured animals
  • Supervising the activities of other veterinary office staff
  • Assisting with research projects and supervising the care of research animals

In NY State veterinary technicians must be licensed by the NY State Board of Education. In other states, they may be certified by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA). In order to qualify for certification, vet techs must complete a two-year degree program at a school accredited by the American Veterinary Medicine Association.
