Which role includes tasks such as feeding, bathing, and grooming animals?

• A. Ophthalmologist
• B. Veterinary assistants
• C. Dietetic assistants
• D. Medication aides/assistants

Answer: (B)

This question is about identifying who performs daily hands-on care for animals. Feeding, bathing, and grooming are routine tasks that involve directly looking after an animal’s daily needs and well-being in a veterinary setting. A veterinary assistant is trained to handle animals, assist veterinarians, and carry out these day-to-day care activities—feeding according to schedules, giving baths, brushing or grooming, monitoring behavior, and helping with exams or procedures as needed.

Ophthalmologists, while they may treat eye conditions in animals, focus on diagnosing and managing eye diseases rather than performing routine animal care tasks. Dietetic assistants work with human nutrition and meal preparation in healthcare environments, not with animals. Medication aides/assistants administer medications to people in care facilities, not animals. So the role that aligns with daily animal care tasks is veterinary assistants.
