Veterinary practice assistants at VetTrust

First impressions count. Our approximately 200 veterinary practice assistants know this well: they are usually the first point of contact for animals and their families. Through individual, needs-based communication and careful coordination, they ensure a positive care experience from the outset. In everyday practice, they take on important clinical support and administrative tasks and assist the veterinary team. Find out more below. Let’s advance the future of veterinary care in Switzerland together.
