About this role
American Veterinary Group's UrgentVet clinic in McKinney is looking for a Senior Veterinary Assistant to work full-time in a modern, paperless urgent care setting. You'd be supporting after-hours care for dogs and cats with common urgent conditions—wound management, infections, digestive issues, and other cases that fall between routine daytime practice and full emergency care. The role demands hands-on clinical skills including phlebotomy, catheter placement, lab work, and patient monitoring, alongside the ability to handle animals safely, educate clients, and keep the clinic running smoothly.
This position suits someone with prior hospital experience who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple tasks while staying organized and professional. You'll need to be comfortable with flexible scheduling that includes evenings, weekends, and holidays, and physically capable of lifting 40 pounds regularly. The clinic is equipped with modern technology—cloud-based records, digital x-ray, and full in-house lab equipment—so you'd be working with current systems designed for efficiency.
The benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401k matching, generous PTO, paid parental and maternity leave, and a work/life balance day. If you're interested in advancing to a veterinary technician credential, the company offers tuition assistance and reimbursement for those pursuing or holding credentials.
