No, veterinary assisting is typically an entry-level position in the veterinary field and assistants are typically supervised by veterinarians and often also veterinary technicians. This is because veterinary assistants are not required to have any special education or training to fill that position in any state in the US. There are some situations where an assistant has been working in the same practice for many years and end up supervising less-experienced personnel, but typically they are not going to be in supervisory positions.

I work at Levan Road Veterinary Hospital in Livonia, MI and I am a Veterinary Assistant. In our practice there are 5 main doctors and 3 Vet Technicians. On our Vet Assistant Staff there are 14 of us. I do not believe that the number of Vet Assistants relates to the Techs. At one time, there are about 5 to 7 Assistants on duty. Their duties include working the front desk, assisting doctors etc. There is one, however, that works in the back, assisting the Technicians. They wrap packs, help in blood draws, clean up, and sometimes do nail trims. So the answer to your question, to the best of my knowledge, would be that no. There is no certain number of Vet assistants for each technician, but rather per doctor and per buisness.
