🐾 MEET THE RVT: KRISTIN!🐾
We’re continuing our Meet the RVT series at Prairie Animal Health Centre, celebrating the incredible people who care for our patients and their families every day! 💙
Today, we’re getting to know Kristin, who has been part of the PAHC team since January 2004! That’s over 20 years of dedication to animal health! 🎉
🐶 Her Journey: Kristin knew she wanted to become a vet tech after caring for her childhood dog, Scully, who needed daily wound care. She was the only one he would let care for him, and that experience helped shape her future career. ❤️
💕 What She Loves: Kristin loves working with long-term cases because she gets to know both the patients and their families. Building those special relationships is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
🐾 A Career Moment She’ll Never Forget: One of her first hospitalized patients was a dog named Jake, who spent weeks in their care. Watching him improve a little each day is a memory that has stayed with her throughout her career.
✨Advice to Her Younger Self: Enjoy the journey, keep showing up, and remember that it’s all worth it! More than 20 years later, Kristin is still showing up with a smile. 💙
