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.

Fleas and ticks are not only gross, they can pose significant health risks. Tapeworm infections and bartonellosis (cat scratch disease) are caused by fleas, while ticks transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, cytauxzoonosis and other infections. The best defense is year-round protection you can trust. Talk to your veterinarian today about flea and tick prevention for your pet.

Hookworms, roundworms and whipworms present a risk to any pet that goes outdoors. Infected animals shed the eggs of these worms in their f***s; your pet could become infected by eating infectious f***s or licking their paws after walking through contaminated soil. The best defense is year-round protection you can trust. Talk to your veterinarian today about parasite prevention for your pet.

When an infected mosquito bites a pet, heartworm larvae are injected into the skin. These larvae travel through the pet’s body, eventually reaching the heart and lungs. In dogs, large numbers of heartworms clog the heart, disrupting blood flow. In cats, heartworms can cause severe lung inflammation. Heartworm disease can be treated, in some cases, but prevention is the best course of action. All pets should receive a year-round heartworm preventive; speak to your veterinary care team today.

Parasite prevention plays a crucial role in veterinary preventive care. Heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas and ticks pose significant health threats to dogs and cats. Schedule an appointment with your veterinary care team to assess your pet’s risks and create a personalized parasite prevention plan.
