Working at Animal Emergency Care: 8 Reviews

The skill of all staff members constantly amazes me and the support for each other and deep care for the animals and their humans is incredible, considering how stressful it is working in an ER setting. I love the collaborative approach the doctors take - we all help each other if needed, because at the end of the day, the successful outcome is what matters. All staff members are respectful of each other and everyone works their hardest every single day. The administrative staff is incredible, and works hard to create a supportive structure and improve efficiency and well-being within the hospital, which (I think) does the best quality medicine in the area!

Pros

Good pay and benefits and working with a top notch support staff

Cons

High volume, stressful, long hours, nights and weekends

No support

Veterinary Assistant (Former Employee) - Bellingham, WA - August 29, 2021

Push employees to the brink. Not a ton of managerial support. Tier structure, so figure it out yourself. Triage and treatment staff is nice. Heard good things, and was unfortunately disappointed.

Great Management

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Bellingham, WA - July 11, 2019

Great work place. Period. I really couldn’t think of anything negative that comes with working at this company. Everyone’s respectful, polite and does their job efficiently. They even give surprise bonuses (if your working hard) and gifts on the holidays.

Challenging and Fullfilling

Employee (Former Employee) - Bellingham, WA - March 27, 2019

Great place to work to be challenged and utilize your skills to think fast and react quickly! You never know what is going to happen making it always exciting! This place isn't for everyone; you really have to love what you do! You have to be strong and your love for animals has to be undeniable. Very satisfying job to have if you need a challenge and have the skillset!

Pros: If you like to save animals, this is a great place. These people are really trying to help animals and the community. Cons: Money goes to help the animals, which is great, but wages are fairly low.

Be prepared to work overnights. I was young when I worked this job and so it was fine for me. You really have to know your stuff because when there is a true emergency they need you to act and not hesitate. At an Emergency Hospital you are either monitoring animals or entering notes or it is crazy busy. The Owner of the clinic was Great, but the manager was not so great. The nursesand doctors where wonderful at teaching and just a pleasure to work with.
