Generally there are no requirements to enter a veterinary assisting program other than being able to pay the bill. Veterinary assistant programs are voluntary and not required in any state.
depends on what schools u go to
There are no requirements. You either have to be a high school graduate or have received your GED.
the standard vet gets about 72.000 a year
Well my aunt was a vet assistant and she said it would be harder to be a vet because you have to see what the animals have like different kinds of diseases and a vet assistant would have to call the patients to the checkup room Or make appointments with people that need vets. I Hoped This Helped You!
Vet assistants should at least have an undergrad degree. This is a 4 year degree.
There aren't really promotions for a veterinary assistant as you would have to go back to school to become a veterinarian. Pay raises are possible and you could work up to being the office manager or head vet tech.
Yes, but only a "lay" assistant and not a registered technician. A registered veterinary technician has not just a GED, but also an Associate's or Bachelor's degree earned after the GED (or high school diploma).
No, you may return to college, complete the pre-requisite courses and apply to vet school without becoming a vet tech. In fact, it is rare that a veterinarian was ever formally trained as a vet tech.
My veterinary assistant school cost about $150 per credit but it was as cheap as $13 per credit for residents. Animal Behavior College costs about between $1900 and $2700. They have various tuition assistance plans you can qualify for. Also, if you approach volunteer at a vet's office, or get a job a vet's office they may be willing to pay for some or all of your tuition.
It varies. To be a veterinary assistant you probaby only have to be 16(unless you have a work permit) . I was a volunteer at the age of 11- then by 14 became a vet. assistant.
Depends on what you majored in, but if you love animals maybe a pet store, kennel, veternary assistant, etc.
a vet assistant doesnt make much cash but they do make only about 26,000 a year and can improve if you move up to be a veternary surgeon
