Careers

Working here

Join the Pacific Grove Animal Hospital team!

Open positions

At Pacific Grove Animal Hospital, we work together, support each other, communicate well, share ideas, and collaborate. We support each other to learn and grow in our knowledge base and encourage continuing education and development while using low-stress animal handling techniques. We use sedation instead of rough manual restraint, we treat clients and their animals with respect, and we do not tolerate rude or abusive clients.

We have compassion for our fearful and aggressive patients; we protect ourselves and offer the best possible medical recommendations. We work hard without overworking ourselves, and we take care of our own physical and mental health. We try to have fun and laugh as much as possible and have complete trust in our team and ourselves. We understand that veterinary care can be costly at times, and we are willing to negotiate with clients that can’t afford everything.

What it’s like working here

Read what our staff has to say!

  • Being a technician at Dr. Kaplan Dau’s practice has allowed me to expand on my skills more than I’ve ever been able to in the past. The entire staff works as a team and are always building each other up, particularly on hard days. We start our days with team huddles to set the tone for the day, creating goals and giving words of encouragement!
