You should include it. If they don't like it and they find out later wouldn't that be worse than letting them know up front? I think what you need to show them is that you have enough experience with dogs to know some technical/medical terms and to know if something should be considered an emergency (and that you can stay calm in an emergency!), that sort of thing, but also make clear that you would respect boundaries and not try to answer a question that needs to be directed to a vet tech or the vet. Does that make sense? It is to their advantage to have someone with medical knowledge but they don't want someone who thinks they know everything. If you can communicate that to them then I think you will be fine!

I sure wish I didn't have allergies... I would totally love to work at a vet's office. I'm very allergic to just about anything that isn't a Yorkie, especially cats, rabbits, ferrets and even labs and goldens
