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.

🦟 FLEAS: MORE THAN JUST A PEST!

Think you found one flea on your pet?
There may be hundreds more hiding in your home. 😳

THE FLEA LIFE CYCLE 🔄

🥚 EGGS
Adult fleas lay eggs on your pet, which then fall into your home.

⬇️

🐛 LARVAE
Larvae hide in carpets, bedding, cracks & furniture.

⬇️

🫘 PUPAE
The cocoon stage can stay hidden for weeks or even months, waiting for the right conditions.

⬇️

🦟 ADULT FLEAS
Adults emerge, jump onto your pet, and start the cycle all over again!

🚨 BREAK THE CYCLE!

Treating fleas after you see them can mean you're already dealing with an established infestation.

START PREVENTION BEFORE THE FLEAS START! 🐶🐱

Regular flea prevention helps protect your pet AND helps stop the flea life cycle in your home.

📲 Talk to our team about the right flea & tick prevention for your pet!
