Summarize Your
Experience:



 

 I mainly helped everyone when they needed it.  My main job right away was to make sure the dogs were walked and kennels were cleaned, after that I helped with whatever needed to be done, mostly assisted with surgery in the mornings, and helped with small animal appointments in the afternoon.

 

What I liked most about
the job:

 

Just getting all the experience, doing all the different things, you never knew what to expect every day.

 

Challenges on the job:

 

 

I found that dealing with clients and their pets, and even dealing with some of my co-workers was the most challenging.
