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.

🎉FEATURE FRIDAY🎉 Meet Beni! Beni was found on a beach in Lagos, Nigeria in August of 2022. She had almost no "floof" and was very skinny but, her owner knew she was special right away. Since then, Beni has travelled from Lagos to Denver to Montana to Washington, DC and then back to Denver! She now has ample "floof" and is the best beach muppet ever! Beni enjoys sleeping, food, snuggles, and hanging out with her puppy brother, Jed.
We love you so much Beni ❤️

☀️SENIOR SUNDAY☀️ Meet Cargo! Cargo is a 19-year-old Puggle who has perfected the art of living! Whether he’s snuggled up with his beloved stuffies, cheering on Colorado’s sports teams, demanding baby carrots, or taking one of his many legendary naps, he approaches every day with heart and joy. Known for his expressive little face and happy-go-lucky personality, Cargo firmly believes every blanket belongs to him and every person he meets is a potential new best friend. Even at nearly 19, he still loves to play, explore, and soak up all the love and attention he can get! Cargo’s favorite things include toys, snacks, cuddles, visiting his friends at VCA Firehouse and being told he’s the most handsome boy ever (which he already knows)! Cargo has been more than well cared for by Dr. Farnsworth and Dr. Jacobs here at VCA Firehouse almost his whole life!
We love you so much Cargo ❤️
