There is absolutely no academic requirement to be become a veterinary assistant. A veterinary assistant is another term for anyone within the clinic that is not a licensed technician, veterinarian, or reception. Be aware that these are minimum wage positions so obtaining a 'degree' is going to amount to unnecessary and often costly loan repayments that may not be affordable on the salary. To be successful in gaining veterinary assistant employment, be personable, professional, and demonstrate ease of handling animals (practice trimming your own pets nails). Most important show interest in taking on the often undesirable parts of maintaining a healthy and clean veterinary environment. To become a veterinary technician, search community colleges and public schools before aiming for a private technical colleges- again these are very costly for the amount a technician gets paid.
