Veterinary Jobs in Decatur, TX

Veterinary Assistant

Our mission at Wise County Animal Clinic is to provide a unique, partnered approach to Veterinary Medicine. Our ultimate goal is to provide high-quality small animal veterinary care and excellent customer service to all pets (including pocket pets and some exotics) and their parents in a warm and personal environment.

We believe that every pet is unique and that the days of just going to the veterinarian simply for vaccines are over. We offer the safest, most effective, and environmentally friendly care for our client’s 4-legged family members. The key to pet health care is a blend of nutrition, prevention, early detection, and appropriate treatment of illness and disease.

We believe that an honest and open relationship between the veterinarian, veterinary team, and pet owners is pivotal to a pet’s well-being.

By providing various options for care and treatment for pets, we feel we can assist pet parents in providing the highest quality of life for their pets.
