      Veterinary Assistant Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Norfolk, VA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PETA (Norfolk, VA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      I was interviewed for the spay and neuter clinic. I declined the job due to many wrong things. The people were nice amd welcoming but weren't practicing medicine right. I watched the vet tech intubate mulitple dogs for the procedure and not once supported the neck, head was everywhere when being flipped to shave and when she carried tp the sx table. I also witnessed this same tech hit 3 dogs head on the wall while getting them onto the sx table (while intubated), tech also doesnt know what a "sterile field" is and continously touched the poly drape while sx was being performed . Same tech decided to clean dogs ears with alcohol. Once they got going with sx vet asst. Would place them in kennel to be extubated. Asst. Would walk away once in kennel (still intubated) and not pay any attention to the pets (would have mulitple pets still intubated in kennels). I witnessed 2 of those pets swinging their heads around with tube still in place and asst. or tech not noticing. Also their "check in" person decided she wanted to play the role of the asst. and extubated a dog while trach tube was completely infated. I understand the are low income but just because your a low income clinic doesnt mean lower the quality of medicine.

      I sincerely regret that the interviewee above did not bring these issues up during the interview; most of them could have easily been clarified at that moment. We run four mobile high quality/high volume spay/neuter clinics that are routinely inspected by the Board of Veterinary of Medicine and strictly adhere to the standards of medical care that any licensed practitioner in a private practice would have to adhere to. Our mobile clinics are state of the art mobile hospitals designed to perform over 30 surgeries per day humanely and efficiently, with virtually no post-operative issues. Our clinics safely spayed and neutered more than 15,100 in 2016 alone, and over 143,000 animals since its inception in 2001. We are sorry that this rejected applicant chose to express disgruntlement through this venue.
