Veterinary kennel technicians are responsible for the day-to-day care of all hospitalized patients and boarding animals.

Kennel technicians must have sufficient physical strength to lift and/or move heavy pets and objects, the confidence to administer medications, and the capacity to monitor pets for signs of distress or disease.

Exercise all boarding animals and hospitalized patients.
Provide food and water for all boarding and hospitalized patients.
Administer topical and oral medications.
Perform medicated baths and dips.
