The pay raise scale is minimal and being on-call is a burden.

Make sure you are your own advocate for pay, benefits, and treatment on the job by peers and supervisors.

It's Not All About Animals.
Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
Be proud of your RVT status. It took a lot to achieve! If you find yourself stressed or unhappy, talk to someone, take some time off, volunteer!!

Working With Animals Is A Blessing.
Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
Pros: I love working with clients; they are amazing. I love being able to help others take care of their pets and give medical advice. I enjoy doing medical procedures.
Cons: Feeling very unappreciated. Continuously being asked and told to do additional jobs with no compensation. It is very stressful when there is not enough staff to take care of the daily tasks properly. When people are so angry, directly rude and mean is disheartening. It is frustrating to see people ignore their pet's basic needs and medical care.
January 2014

Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT):
Pros: Job variety, great team, very rewarding, work with animals every day.
Cons: High stress, low pay, demanding hours, emotionally draining, physically draining.
