Day 5 of National Veterinary Technician Week is Resort Happy Hour!

Things got a little wild at the Chenault retreat today! Between the mocktails, float fights, and beach ball battles, our team proved that even veterinary professionals know how to let loose and have some fun!

A special thank you to Eric from Virbac for providing the happy hour ingredients and helping make this fun team celebration possible! 🍹

But behind all the fun is a team that knows a thing or two about handling pressure. Veterinary medicine is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be incredibly stressful. From emergency appointments and surgeries to packed schedules, unexpected complications, financial constraints, and the emotional weight of caring for animals who can’t tell us what’s wrong, our technicians face challenging situations every single day.

Through it all, our technicians have to think quickly, adapt on the fly, support one another, and remain compassionate even when situations are overwhelming.

That’s why taking time to laugh, let loose, and enjoy each other’s company matters SO much. The same team that comes together during the hardest moments deserves time to celebrate the good ones, too! 🌺

Here’s to our amazing techs, their resilience, their compassion, and a little well-deserved chaos outside the treatment room this week! Happy Vet Tech Week ladies, I hope you know how much we love you.

Sincerely,
Management

🌴🐾 TECH SPOTLIGHT: MARIE HILLARD! 🐾🌴

Day 4 of our Tech Spotlight Series is getting a little microscopic! Marie has been part of the Chenault crew since 2019, and today we’re putting your detective skills to the test with GUESS MY FAVORITE TECH TASK! 🔬🕵️‍♀️

Here are your clues:
A. I love looking at things you can’t see with the naked eye
B. All I need is a slide and a microscope
C. Neutrophils, cocci, or yeast, oh my!

Drop your guesses in the comments! What’s Marie’s favorite thing to do at work? Are you seeing the clues clearly, or do you need a little more magnification? 🤣

We’ll reveal the answer tomorrow right here in the comments, so check back to see if you were right!

Day 4 of National Veterinary Technician Week is Flock to the Tropics!

Today, our techs got lunch & a movie (Moana!) from Chick-fil-A, generously provided by Michelle from Pumpkin Pet Insurance!

Here’s a little veterinary reality check: lunch breaks don’t always happen when planned! Our technicians are constantly juggling hospitalized patients, appointments that run behind, phone calls to check on pets at home, and medical treatments that can’t always wait. They also take time to create special keepsakes for families, like ink paw/nose prints and fur clippings, prepare medications, update medical records, and make sure every patient is comfortable before stepping away.

Sometimes, by the time everything is taken care of, that lunch break has turned into a quick bite between appointments! So while lunch might seem like just another meal to some, for our techs, the chance to actually sit down, enjoy a meal {together}, and take a moment to recharge means more than you know!

Our techs give so much of themselves to the animals and families who count on us, often putting their own needs on the back burner. A huge thank-you to Michelle and Pumpkin Pet Insurance for helping us show our team some extra appreciation! 🌺🐔

🌴🐾 TECH SPOTLIGHT: ALEXIS DOLBOW! 🐾🌴

Day 3 of our Tech Spotlight Series is bringing the tough questions! Alexis has been part of the Chenault crew since 2022, so she knows that life in veterinary medicine isn’t always sunshine and tropical drinks!

Today’s challenge is WOULD YOU RATHER: Vet Tech Edition! 🩺❓

Do you think Alexis would rather:
A. Get peed on OR get anal-glanded on?
B. Assist in a Puppy visit OR assist in a kitten visit?
C. Clean a cat abscess OR clean a dog with maggots?
D. Handle an angry pet OR an angry client?

Answer in the comments! We will reveal her answers in the comments tomorrow

Day 3 of National Veterinary Technician Week is Tropic Like It’s Hot.

Our techs traded stethoscopes for paintbrushes as we painted pots, planted our own succulents, and sipped on delicious milkshakes! 🪴🥤

Believe it or not, creativity is a BIG part of veterinary medicine! Our techs are constantly coming up with clever ideas to make every patient’s visit a little easier, happier, and less stressful.

From treats, Kong squeeze-cheese, and lick mats to keep patients distracted during treatments, to creative kitty boxes that help our feline friends feel safe, and graduation photos to celebrate those big milestones — our team finds unique ways to turn everyday moments into something special! Sometimes it’s the smallest ideas that make the biggest difference, and that’s what makes our techs so amazing!

Today, we got to put that same creativity to work on something a little different… our very own tropical masterpieces! This couldn’t have been possible without the help of Brittany from Vetoquinol. Thank you for giving our team a chance to get creative, relax, and enjoy some well-deserved fun! We appreciate you! 💚

Day 2 of National Veterinary Technician Week is Scoops & Scrubs!

As kids, many of our techs dreamed of growing up to work with animals. Little did they know that dream would also include being professional p**p detectives, getting peed on, cleaning up unmentionable messes, and becoming personal jungle gyms for our four-legged patients!

But between the messy moments, puppy kisses, and lives our techs help save, they wouldn’t trade this career for anything.

Today, we brought a little childhood nostalgia to Chenault with an ice cream truck, sweet treats, and those familiar jingles that made them feel like kids again! 🍦🎶

🌴🐾 TECH SPOTLIGHT: MANDIE REED! 🐾🌴

Welcome to Day 1 of our Tech Spotlight series! First up is Mandie Reed, LVT — part of the Chenault family since 2011!

For today’s challenge, Mandie is sharing 2 TRUTHS AND A LIE…and you get to play detective! Which one do you think is the LIE?

A. Her biggest flex? She’s worked on a mountain lion… not once, but twice!

B. She has a special place in her heart for veterinary dentistry and loves teaching future LVTs (and even the occasional DVM 😉) the importance of healthy mouths!

C. She thinks Sphynx cats are the worst breed ever. The hairless skin makes her cringe, and the fact that they need baths? Eww, no thanks!

Drop your guess in the comments: A, B, or C!

🏆 We’ll reveal the answer tomorrow morning in the comments, so check back to see if you cracked the case!

It’s officially National Veterinary Technician Week, and we’re bringing the tropical vibes to Chenault Veterinary Hospital! ☀️🍍 We transformed our lounge into a little slice of paradise to celebrate the amazing technicians who show up every day with compassion, skill, and so much love for our patients.

🏝️ What’s in store this week? Each day, we’ll spotlight one of our incredible technicians with a fun prompt, and we’ll need your help to play along!

🍹 Day 1: Paws in Paradise! We kicked off the week with a tropical breakfast courtesy of Christine with Boehringer Ingelheim (BI)! Smoothies, pastries, bagels, iced coffee, and juice made for the perfect island-inspired start. A HUGE thank you to Christine for helping our team start off the week!

📸 Swipe through to see our conference room transformation!

Help us kick off the week! Feel free to give a shoutout to a technician who has made a difference for you and your pets!

Stay tuned…paradise is just getting started! 🌴🐾

🐾 MILESTONE MONDAY! 🐾

This week brought a pretty exciting first for one of our veterinary assistants. Rachel successfully placed her very first IV catheter…on the FIRST try! 🎉

She’s currently attending veterinary technician school, putting her hands-on experience at Chenault together with the classroom learning that will prepare her for a career as a credentialed veterinary technician.

And what makes this milestone even sweeter? In just a few days, it will be her 5-year anniversary with Chenault! She started with us in the kennels, moved into a veterinary assistant role, and is now working toward the next chapter of her veterinary career.

We can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next! Congratulations Rachel!
