Veterinary Technicians

Marietta, Georgia

Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency in Marietta, GA is seeking a highly experienced Emergency & Critical Care Veterinary Technician to join our growing specialty and emergency hospital.

This is not an entry-level position
. We are seeking confident, technically advanced veterinary technicians who thrive in high-acuity environments and are ready to practice at the top of their license in a true ER/Specialty setting.

At Dogwood, you won’t just assist — you’ll contribute meaningfully to complex case management alongside five Board-Certified Criticalists and a collaborative team of emergency and specialty clinicians.

• True Emergency & Specialty Veterinary Hospital (not GP with ER hours)
• Work directly with 5 Boarded Criticalists
• Advanced ICU-level medicine and complex case management
• Modern monitoring equipment and specialty diagnostics
• A culture that values technician autonomy, expertise, and growth
• Dedicated investment in continuing education

• Triage and stabilize emergent and critical patients
• Recognize and respond to trauma, shock, respiratory distress, GDV, sepsis, cardiac events, and multi-system emergencies
• Perform and assist with CPR and advanced life‑saving interventions
• Calculate and administer CRIs, fluid therapy, blood products, and emergency medications

• Assist with emergency and specialty surgical procedures
• Perform advanced anesthesia monitoring (ECG, capnography, invasive BP, pulse oximetry)
• Manage CRIs, analgesia protocols, and perioperative care
• Deliver detailed post‑operative monitoring and pain management

• Operate and interpret ECG, capnography, pulse oximetry, Doppler/oscillometric BP
• Perform in‑house laboratory diagnostics (CBC, chemistry, blood gases, coagulation testing, urinalysis)
• Assist with digital radiography and ultrasound procedures
• Monitor ICU patients requiring oxygen therapy, transfusions, and continuous support

• 3–5+ years of hands‑on experience in Emergency, ICU, or Specialty Medicine
• Strong triage and emergency case management skills
• Advanced medical math proficiency (drug calculations, CRIs, anesthetic protocols)
• Ability to remain calm, decisive, and effective in high‑stress situations
• Confidence working independently while collaborating within a specialty team

• LVT / RVT / CVT strongly preferred
• Highly experienced non‑credentialed ECC technicians will be considered
• RECOVER CPR certification, ECC‑focused CE, or anesthesia certifications are a plus

🚫 If you are early in your veterinary technician career or still building emergency confidence, this role is likely not the right fit at this time.

Dogwood invests heavily in technician development:

• 💰 $3,000 annual CE allowance
• 📚 2 paid CE PTO days annually
• Support for advanced certifications (VTS, ECC, anesthesia, specialty focus)
• Opportunities to refine skills alongside boarded specialists

We don’t just encourage growth — we fund it.

• Competitive pay based on ER/ECC experience
• Shift differentials where applicable
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Paid holidays
• Employee pet care discounts
• Career advancement within emergency and specialty operations

• ✔ Have significant ER, ICU, or specialty case experience
• ✔ Want to work alongside boarded Criticalists
• ✔ Are confident managing unstable patients
