my nephew got a job with the local vet.
He walks the dogs and exercises the other animals.
Other than cleaning up allot of poop (cleaning cages and outside) he loves the job

Hi Huntergirl,
I started working in a veterinary hospital when I was 15 and never stopped - it has now been 28 years! I love it. I got my first job by applying to a veterinary hospital in town as a kennel worker. From there, I learned a lot from the veterinary technicians and became a treatment nurse and kept on moving up in the ranks. I am a certified veterinary technician and a certified practice manager. I love my career and am glad that I stuck with it. You can currently go to school on line in an effort to take the NAVTA test to become certified. I believe that you also need to have 3 years of experience at a veterinary hospital.
Best Wishes
Pam

Some vet offices are willing to hire teenagers on a part time basis. Sounds like you have great experience. You might also look into a job at a pet store. Or how about petsitting or dog walking, you could start your own business.
