Advanced Veterinary Assistant - Chicago - Wicker Park

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

In July 2026, Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary merged to build a more connected, accessible, and compassionate veterinary care experience across routine, primary, and urgent care. The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across major Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest markets, serving over half a million pets.

This role will play an important part in shaping the next chapter of our combined organization and advancing our shared mission to transform veterinary care.

We’re looking for extraordinary advanced veterinary assistants to join our team. We believe the role of a conventional veterinary assistant has not realized its full potential in any GP or urgent-care clinical environment, and it is our mission to bring this role to the modern day.

Here at Bond Vet, our advanced veterinary assistants use their medical knowledge and clinical skills to provide routine and urgent care every day. You’ll participate in surgery and dental procedures, run some of your own appointments with assistants, and educate the pet parents who walk in our door. We'll look out for you and encourage you to grow your skill set, helping you learn and setting up appropriate CE events and mentorship to support you through your career with us.
