There aren't standard hours for a veterinary assistant. The work schedule will depend on the hours of operation of the veterinary facility, the number of employees, etc. Veterinary assistants may work days, nights, weekends, holidays, etc.

This depends on the clinic and the type of practice you are in. For a rural large animal ambulatory veterinarian, you can expect to work one weekend a month on emergency call any hour of the day or night. For an urban small animal clinic with no regular weekend hours and a local emergency clinic, a veterinarian may work no hours on the weekend.
