Dia de Los Mu***os is a celebration of life, love, and cherished memories. Celebrated on October 27th, Pet Day of the Dead is a heartfelt tradition dedicated to honoring beloved pets that have passed away. Altars are built and decorated with photographs, their favorite foods, and cherished toys. This special day reminds us to celebrate the enduring love and happiness our animal companions have brought into our lives.

Let us honor our beloved pets and the paw prints they have left on our hearts by celebrating the joy and unconditional love they share with us.

Please stop by or message us to join us in remembrance by writing the name of your companion who has crossed the rainbow bridge and placing it on our memorial altar.

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.
