As Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, we want to say one more huge THANK YOU to our amazing team. 💜🐾

The work you do isn't always easy.

It takes skill.
It takes patience.
It takes compassion.
It takes teamwork.
And sometimes it takes a little creativity. 😄

Thank you for caring for our patients when they're sick, comforting them when they're scared, supporting our doctors, helping our clients, and being there for one another.

We appreciate you this week — and every week. 💜

This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're celebrating the incredible Associates who make our hospitals thrive — like Karen, who began as a CSR and never stopped growing and like Joanne, who sought mentorship and support to obtain her VTNE.

At VCA, we're proud to champion our veterinary technicians every step of the way — offering mentorship, encouragement, and the resources to help you reach your full potential.

To every vet tech in our VCA family: thank you. What you do matters deeply — to our teams, to our patients, and to the pet owners who trust us with their most beloved companions.

🐾 What does a veterinary technician actually do?

The answer might be easier if we asked, “What DON'T they do?” 😄

On any given day, our veterinary technicians may:

🩺 Assist veterinarians with exams and procedures
💉 Place IV catheters and administer treatments
🧪 Collect and process laboratory samples
🦷 Assist with dental procedures
😴 Monitor anesthesia
❤️ Care for hospitalized patients
📋 Educate clients about home care
🐾 Comfort nervous or frightened pets
🧹 Clean, prepare, organize…and then do it all again!

They combine technical skills with an incredible amount of compassion.

This Veterinary Technician Week, we are especially thankful for everything our team does for our patients, clients, doctors, and each other. 💜

10/19/2026

We’ll be closed on October 20 from 12:30-1:30pm for a staff meeting as we continue working to provide the best care for you and your pets. 🐾

Need help while we’re away? You can connect with a VCA veterinary professional anytime through the myVCA app’s 24/7 live chat. Please note this support is provided by VCA’s central team and not our local hospital staff.

We appreciate your understanding and will see you soon!

💜🐾 Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! 🐾💜

This week we're celebrating the incredible veterinary technicians who play such an important role in caring for our patients and supporting our entire hospital team.

Veterinary technicians do SO much more than most people ever see.

They comfort frightened patients, collect samples, monitor anesthesia, perform laboratory testing, assist with procedures, educate pet owners, administer treatments, care for hospitalized pets, and so much more.

Their knowledge, compassion, patience, and dedication make a difference every single day.

This week, help us show our technicians some extra love! 💜

Have one of our team members made a difference for you or your pet? Leave them a shout-out in the comments! 👇

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.

🚨 PET HEALTH MYTH:
“My pet stays indoors, so they don't need parasite prevention.”

✅ FACT: Fleas, mosquitoes, ticks, and other parasites don't always respect the front door!

Even pets who spend most of their time indoors may still be exposed.

Year-round prevention helps protect pets against parasites that can cause discomfort and, in some cases, serious illness.

Not sure which prevention is appropriate for your pet? Ask our veterinary team at your next visit! 🐾
