People who work with animals usually love them first and the paycheque second, but a good paycheque, fair hours, and a kind team still decide where they work. This Vet Tech and Pet Care Hiring Flyer is built on a sunny mustard page with a bright red dog collar running across the top. A gold D-ring hangs from the collar, and from it swings a white bone-shaped name tag that reads NOW HIRING, VET TECHS & KENNEL STAFF. Below the tag, the open roles and pay are listed next to a round photo of your team with a patient; a trail of paw prints walks across the page, and a navy footer carries the practice name and how to apply. It suits veterinary hospitals, emergency and specialty clinics, boarding kennels, doggy daycares, grooming salons, and animal shelters.
Collar, Tag and Paw Prints
A name tag on a collar is one of the most familiar objects in any pet owner’s life, and it gives the headline a natural home. The design keeps each element anchored: the collar spans the full width of the page, the ring hangs from the collar, and the tag hangs from the ring. The paw prints walk from one side of the page toward the footer, as if a dog has just trotted through. It is cheerful without being childish, which suits clinics that want to appear friendly and professional at the same time.

Credentials Glossary for Animal Care Roles
Job titles in veterinary medicine have specific meanings, and experienced candidates notice when they are used loosely. Use the right one for each row:
- LVT/RVT/CVT (Licensed, Registered or Certified Veterinary Technician): A graduate of an accredited veterinary technology programme who has passed the national exam (VTNE) and holds state credentials; the title varies by state.
- Veterinary assistant: Supports technicians and veterinarians with restraint, cleaning, feeding, and basic care; no licence required, though certificates exist.
- Kennel attendant: Feeds, walks and cleans up after boarding and hospitalised animals; often the entry point to a veterinary career.
- Groomer: Bathes, clips and styles pets; often paid by commission, sometimes with a guaranteed base.
- Client service representative: Answers phones, books appointments and checks clients in and out; a good role to add as a fifth row.
Filling In Your Practice Details
- Photo: click the round photo and choose Replace Image. A photo of a team member cuddling a patient works wonders; get the owner’s permission if the pet is identifiable.
- Top line and footer: type your practice name, speciality, and contact details.
- Tag headline: change VET TECHS & KENNEL STAFF to GROOMERS WANTED, DAYCARE STAFF or VET ASSISTANTS. Keep each line to about 12 characters.
- Roles and pay: each role and pay figure is a separate text box. Delete a row by removing its two text boxes and divider.
- Collar colour: recolour the collar to your brand colour; red, teal and navy all look good on mustard.
- Paw trail and icons: the paw trail is one group, and the dog face is an editable vector; recolour or delete them as you like.
Caring for the People Who Care for Animals
Veterinary teams face emotionally demanding work, from euthanasia appointments to emergencies, and burnout is a well-known problem in the profession. Candidates increasingly ask about the culture before they ask about pay. If your practice offers reasonable appointment lengths, a policy against abusive clients, mental-health resources, or scheduled breaks, those are powerful recruiting messages. Free or discounted care for employees’ own pets is a benefit nearly every animal lover values, and paid continuing education signals that you invest in skills. For kennel and daycare roles, predictable shifts and a clear path to assistant or technician training help you retain people who start at the entry level.
Reaching Animal Lovers Who Want to Work
- Veterinary technology programmes and pre-vet student clubs.
- Pet stores, dog parks noticeboards and grooming supply shops.
- Animal shelters and rescue groups, whose volunteers make great kennel staff.
- Your own reception area and client newsletter.
- Pet-related social media groups in your area, using the PNG download.
Printing the Mustard and Red Flyer
Download the PDF and print on bright white paper to keep the mustard warm rather than muddy. The collar and footer use strong colours, so a laser printer gives the most even result. Laminate a copy for a busy clinic noticeboard where hands and paws might brush against it.
Practice Owner Questions
Can I add a cat?
Yes. Use the editor’s elements or upload a cat illustration, or simply choose a photo with a cat for the round slot.
Can I change the bone to a round tag?
The bone is a group of one rectangle and four circles. Delete the four circles and give the rectangle rounded corners, or replace it with a circle for a classic round tag.
Is there room for a QR code?
Use the editor’s QR tool and place it in the gap between the perks line and the paw trail, or on the right of the footer.
Open the template, add a photo of your team with a happy patient, set your roles and pay, and let the paw prints lead your next hire to your door.
