About NextVet™

Banfield Pet Hospital, the nation’s leading provider of veterinary care with more than 1,000 hospitals and a part of the global Mars Veterinary Health family of practices, is seeking pet-loving students for the op-purr-tunity of a lifetime!

Our NextVet internship comes with plenty of tail wags and puppy kisses, but the job is far from fluffy.

If you’ve ever wondered about a career working with animals, we invite you to join us in delivering on our purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.

What you’ll be doing

As a NextVet intern, you’ll spend most of your time behind-the-scenes in one of our veterinary hospitals, where you’ll see our team in action and shadow a range of positions including veterinarians and credentialed veterinary technicians.

You’ll also participate virtually in group sessions exploring many different aspects of the veterinary industry, receive ongoing support form our local doctors and market leaders, and have a chance to connect with Banfield leaders.
