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.

🧠🐾 Did You Know? Amazing Pet Superpowers! 🐾🧠

We love our pets for their cuddles, but did you know they possess some truly incredible biological superpowers? Check out these jaw-dropping pet facts:
🐈 1. Cats can rotate their ears like satellite dishes! Cats have 32 individual muscles in each ear (humans only have 6!). This allows them to rotate their ears 180 degrees and move them independently to pinpoint the exact location of a tiny mouse rustling in the grass.
🐕 2. A dog’s sense of smell is practically a time machine.A dog’s sense of smell is up to 100,000 times more powerful than ours. If we can smell a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of coffee, a dog can smell that same teaspoon diluted in a million gallons of water! They use this to smell who walked by hours ago, essentially reading the history of the neighborhood through their nose.
🐈 3. A cat's collarbone is a floating miracle. Ever wonder how cats squeeze into impossibly tight spaces? It's because their collarbones aren't attached to other bones—they are buried in muscle! If a cat's head can fit through a gap, the rest of their body usually can too.
