Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

**🐾 Don’t Forget the F***l Sample! 💩**

Your pet may look perfectly healthy, but intestinal parasites aren’t always visible to the naked eye. Routine f***l testing helps us detect parasites early, protect your pet’s health, and reduce the risk of parasites spreading to other pets—and even people.

🩺 **Why is f***l testing important?**
• Detects intestinal parasites that may otherwise go unnoticed
• Helps protect your pet from illness and complications
• Some parasites can be transmitted to people
• Allows us to catch problems early, even when your pet has no symptoms

A fresh f***l sample is a simple way to help keep your furry family member healthy! 🐶🐱

**Next time you’re visiting us, bring a fresh sample with you—we’ll take care of the rest!** 💚
