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.

Fireworks may be fun for us—but they can be stressful for our pets.

With the 4th of July right around the corner, now’s the time to plan ahead. Loud noises and bright lights can cause anxiety, fear, and even unsafe behaviors like running away.

Help keep your pet calm and safe by creating a quiet space at home and keeping them indoors during celebrations.

As a reminder: our emergency (ER) department will remain open 24/7 during the holiday for any of your pet’s emergencies.

Getting answers sometimes requires advanced tools and the right expertise behind them.

By combining advanced technology with expert evaluation, we’re able to diagnose complex conditions earlier, develop targeted treatment plans, and provide the highest level of care for your pet.

Accurate answers lead to confident care and better outcomes for the patients who matter most.
