Many
people like animals. But, as pet owners can attest,
taking care of them is hard work. Animal care and
service workers—which include animal caretakers and
animal trainers - train, feed, water, groom, bathe,
and exercise animals, and clean, disinfect, and repair
their cages. They also play with the animals, provide
companionship, and observe behavioral changes that
could indicate illness or injury. Boarding kennels,
animal shelters, veterinary hospitals and clinics,
stables, laboratories, aquariums, and zoological parks
all house animals and employ animal care and service
workers.
Job titles and duties vary by employment setting.
Kennel attendants care for pets while their owners
are working or traveling out of town. Beginning attendants
perform basic tasks, such as cleaning cages and dog
runs, filling food and water dishes, and exercising
animals. Experienced attendants may provide basic
animal healthcare, as well as bathe animals, trim
nails, and attend to other grooming needs. Attendants
who work in kennels also may sell pet food and supplies,
assist in obedience training, help with breeding,
or prepare animals for shipping. Grooming the pet
involves several steps: an initial brush-out is followed
by an initial clipping of hair or fur using electric
clippers, combs, and grooming shears. |
