What’s the role of a Veterinary technician? Also, is it possible to be a dog handler alongside being a Vet Tech.?
I am interested in medicine, veterinary medicine but I would also like to be on the frontline and work with the Military Working Dogs.

Hello,
More information on both of those roles can be found on our website.

You will not be able to be both a dog handler and a veterinary technician, you can only join in one role. However, veterinary technicians do get trained in military dog handling, and similarly, dog handlers are trained on how to provide medical care to their dogs in an emergency/when deployed.
