“I have been an RVT for 4 years!

It's hard to choose just one favourite, because I genuinely like working with all species, even exotics. Appointments tend to be my favourite area of the clinic, but I also really like helping out in dental as well!

I wanted to become an RVT because I liked that I get to help with so many different areas of medicine, and that my skills will constantly be growing.

If there's one thing I wish other people knew, it's that you never know what you are walking into and the days are always different. Most days are very rewarding, despite how chaotic it may seem!”

“I am a UK-trained Veterinary Nurse and have been qualified for 4 and a half years!

I used to be strictly a dog person, but since adopting my three cats, I've very much become a cat person and love working with them.
I love all things dental! In fact, before becoming a Veterinary Nurse, I originally wanted to be a dentist.

I wanted to become a Veterinary Nurse out of a deep love for animals, and knowing I could be an advocate for patients who can't speak for themselves is such a rewarding and fulfilling feeling.

If there's one thing I wish people understood, it's that we are not "just assistants" to the veterinarians. In the UK, the title is Veterinary Nurse—which, just like human nursing, incorporates all aspects of patient care, just like you would see in a regular hospital. We are often the person who spends the most time with your pet, from blood draws to anaesthetic monitoring, and we're here for it all!”

"I've been an RVT for 3 years! Normally I would say dogs are my favourite species to work with, but my new cat at home is making that choice a lot harder.

If you ask about my favourite area of the clinic, I would say surgery, though dentals are a very close second. It is so rewarding to safely monitor a patient through anesthesia straight through to recovery and then see how happy they are going home to their owners. I also love the incredible variety of cases that come in—it always keeps you on your toes!

I wanted to become an RVT because I love biology and how the body works, combined with a lifelong love of animals. Vet med allows me to keep learning every day, and as an RVT, I get to perform hands-on technical skills daily.

If there's one thing I wish people knew, it's the depth of medical knowledge and technical skills we actually have. We wear several different hats behind the scenes and always have to be ready for anything to walk through the door!"

"I have been an RVT for 3 years!

It’s so hard to pick a favourite species to work with as I find it changes every day but I love my spicy cats and exotics too. My favourite area of the clinic is definitely surgery because I love all aspects of scrubbing in and keeping our patients safely under anesthetic.

I wanted to be an RVT because much like everyone else in this profession, I have a deep connection with animals. But from a young age I have also had a huge passion for science, all thanks to my dad.

We are always told “I dont know how you do it, I could never” when it comes to sensitive subjects like euthanasia, but something I wish people knew is that sometimes euthanasia is the kindest thing we can do for our pets. To be able to give them a peaceful goodbye is a privilege, and although it is heartbreaking, it is also an honour to see how loved they are and to be there for them in their final moments."

"I have been an RVT for 15 years!

My favourite species to work with are dogs—specifically Pomeranians!
When it comes to my favourite area of the clinic, I love dental procedures. They are challenging yet so rewarding, and they provide instant relief for the patient with measurable results.

Like everyone in this profession, I love animals! I was also heavily drawn to the immense variety of the profession.

If there's one thing I wish people knew about the job, it's the sheer scope of what an RVT actually does. It is usually the technologists who are doing the hands-on diagnostics and care for pets—the blood work, the x-rays, the anesthesia, the IV fluids, and the nursing care. We have specialized training and truly love this aspect of the job!"

"I have been an RVT for 3 years!

My favourite species to work with are cats and Labradors!

My favourite area of the clinic is seeing patients on tech appointments for blood and other lab work, surgery and dental follow-ups, injections, and more.

I wanted to be an RVT because I've always had a deep love and connection to animals of all shapes and sizes, and what better way to express that love than by helping keep them healthy, happy, and caring for them when they need it the most? The bonus is that no day is ever the same, and there are always new things to learn, ways to grow, and challenges to take on.

If there's one thing I wish people knew, it's that we do so much more than just hold animals! RVTs are phlebotomists, lab techs, radiology techs, anesthetists, behaviour counsellors, surgery nurses, nutrition counsellors, client liaisons, dental hygienists, grief counsellors, wound care nurses, basic groomers, parasitologists, hospitalization and treatment nurses, and so much more!"

"I have been an RVT for 18 years!

My favourite species to work with are canines—specifically puppies and geriatrics.
When it comes to my favourite parts of the job, I love assisting in dentistry and teaching puppy classes.

I wanted to become an RVT because it feels like compassionate science. I get to help animals while constantly learning, and since every day is a little different, it allows me to build and use a large repertoire of skills.

If there's one thing I wish people knew about the job, it's that RVTs are a credentialed and regulated profession. To maintain our membership, we must pass a national exam and complete 15 hours of continuing education every single year!"
