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.

🎆 Be honest...

When the fireworks start, your pet is most likely to:

🐶 Hide under the bed
🐱 Camp out in the closet
🐶 Follow you everywhere
🐱 Act completely unbothered
🐶 Bark at every boom

Tell us in the comments.

If your pet gets stressed during fireworks, now is a great time to talk with your veterinarian about ways to help them feel more comfortable this holiday.

🐾 Does your pet hide when fireworks start?

Many pets experience anxiety during fireworks season. Common signs include:
• Hiding
• Trembling
• Pacing
• Excessive barking or vocalization
• Destructive behavior

The good news? You don't have to wait until the Fourth of July to help.

If your pet struggles with fireworks, schedule an appointment now to discuss options that may help them feel more comfortable during the holiday.
