I want to become a vet tech. I need some info.....?

Question

After a lot of thought and my love for all animals, I want to become a vet tech. I was wondering how to go about doing so. I searched some on line colleges. Anyone know of a reputable on line college or a college in PA. Thank you in advance.

I just wanted to ask this in the dog section because I see a lot of vet techs in this section.

I also posted this in higher education.

Answer 1

You might not even have to go to school (although education is never a wasted effort). In my city, vet techs often start out working in the kennels and gradually work their way up. I work in an emergency animal hospital, and we see everything.

The exception would be someone interested in working with research animals. Those technicians are often required to be certified and complete a veterinary technician program.
