As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, we want to highlight the relationship they have with you!

Although this career choice comes because of a love for animals, a large portion of their works involves talking with clients. Veterinary technicians not only have a relationship with their patients, but their owners as well. Interacting with clients is a large portion on their everyday work. Whether it's obtaining history, educating on preventative care, providing post op instructions, answering questions and offering reassurance, or helping them through some of the best or toughest decisions, you can rest easy knowing a veterinary technician will help you through your pets care throughout their life.

Day five of National Veterinary Technician Week is highlighting the special ability of being trained to be the voice for the voiceless. Often times, the veterinary technicians are the first to see your pet and spend the most time with them during their care. By a quick glance they can recognize signs of distress, internal bleeding, change is respirations, subtle changes indicating pain. Their education and experience with monitoring patient status, prioritizing pain management, knowing when intervention is needed, and ensuring comfort helps our patients have a voice.

Day four of National Veterinary Technician Week is highlighting all that our technicians CAN and DO everyday! Just like nurses in human medicine, veterinary technicians are the doctors right hand. Their passion and diverse training handling a wide range of patient care, administrative, and technical tasks allows the veterinarian to focus on their case load. Whether it's checking in a patient, drawing blood, running diagnostics, calculating and administering medications, ICU care, client education, inducing for surgery, monitoring anesthesia, placing IV catheters, wound care, performing dental cleanings or taking radiographs, the veterinary technicians can handle it all and more!

Day three of National Veterinary Technician Week highlights the continuous learning our technicians are regularly doing! Not only is it required of them to obtain a set amount of hours of continuing education from an approved American Association Of Veterinary State Board programs to maintain their license, but they WANT to learn and grow as medicine and technology to help their patients best is always evolving!

Day two of National Veterinary Technician Week highlights the hard work each of our technicians have put into not only in their education to obtain their degree, but also passing the rigorous national exam to obtain their veterinary technician license.

Fun Fact, many of our technicians are even licensed in multiple states! 🎓📝

Today kicks off
NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK! 🐱🐶🩺💉💊🐾

The week of October 18-24th has been set aside as National Veterinary Technician Week (NVTW) to celebrate, recognize, and promote the valuable contributions Credentialed Veterinary Technicians make to the veterinary profession and society.

Our licensed veterinary technicians are the heartbeat of the clinic. They are here every night and weekend to help pets in need. From the second your pet walks through the door to when they leave, our technicians are there every step of the way. From getting a history, taking vitals, to collecting blood or urine samples, running labwork and diagnostics, taking radiographs, performing treatments, placing IV catheters, prepping for surgery and monitoring anesthesia, filling medications, performing life saving procedures such as CPR to critical patients, and the list goes on. All while comforting every pet (and their owners) that comes in.

So be sure to thank a veterinarian technician this week, especially our very own.

Thank you Nicole, Kaylin, Kourtney, Megan, Cat & Nikki for all you do everyday! Stay tuned all week as we highlight just some of the reasons why they deserve the recognition and celebration!

There is nothing worse than a puppy with tummy upset. Digestive issues are common in puppies and can be caused by many things such as diet changes, stress, parasites, or infections. Thankfully this little guys family brought him to see us so we could perform testing and treat his symptoms. He not only got fluids under the skin to help with dehydration, but also got feel better snuggles from the whole team. 🐶❤️‍🩹
