The role of the veterinary receptionist can be extremely rewarding. Regular customers will get to know you by name, and likewise you will be able to address both them and their pets from memory. And just wait until Christmas, you will be amazed at all the cards, choccies (and wine!) you will get. The biggest box or finest bottle will undoubtedly be from Mrs Crotchet and "Herbert" - so don't take the mickey next time his tummy's dicky!
