Veterinary assisting is an entry level position with no requirements for special education or training. Veterinary assistants are more limited in the types of duties that they can perform and require more supervision than credentialed veterinary technicians. For these reasons, veterinary assistants often start at minimum wage with increases over time as their skill and knowledge increases. A 2013 survey by Firstline (a veterinary team magazine) the average pay for veterinary assistants in the southwest was $14.50 an hour. Bear in mind that the "Southwest" includes California, which has a much higher cost of living and pay scale; thus, that average is likely higher than the average in Texas. That average also doesn't provide a breakdown of time spent in practice, so it includes the pay for veterinary assistants who have been working for 10 or more years, which raises the average. The majority of veterinary assistants in Texas will make quite a bit less than that "average."
