Veterinary Assistant is more than a role, it’s a career path filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.

Through VCA’s Career Progression Program, Associates can build new skills and advance through five program levels designed for Veterinary Assistants. Associates are also supported and encouraged to earn their AVA designation.

This Veterinary Assistant Week, we’re celebrating the dedication, compassion, and hard work of Veterinary Assistants across our hospitals. Thank you for everything you do!

Dr Taylor James is back at VCA Animal Care Associates and seeing patients.

Many of our clients already know Dr James for the way she connects with both pets and their families. Whether it’s a routine visit or a moment of concern, she takes the time to listen, answer questions, and help you feel confident in your pet’s care.

She is Fear Free Certified and focused on creating a calm, comfortable experience for every pet who walks through our doors.

We’re grateful to have her back and to continue supporting the pets and families in our community.

We are deeply saddened to share the unexpected passing of our colleague, Dr Viktoria Moersch-Drake.

Dr Drake was a dedicated veterinarian who cared deeply for the pets and families she served. Her compassion and commitment to her patients made a meaningful impact on our hospital and community.

We are grateful for the time we had working alongside her and for the care she provided to so many pets.

Please join us in remembering Dr Drake and the dedication she brought to helping animals and the people who love them.
