Veterinary technicians are generally paid more than veterinary assistants. This is because veterinary assisting is an entry-level position with no requirements for education or credentialing and as such veterinary assistants are generally more restricted in the kinds of tasks they can perform and how much supervision they have to have. Veterinary technicians, on the other hand, are generally required to have a degree in veterinary technology, pass the Veterinary Technician National Exam and be credentialed as a veterinary technician. They typically can perform more tasks with less supervision.
