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.

Day 12 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Start the New Year Right

A fresh year is the perfect time to set your pet up for a healthy start. Preventive care helps catch issues early, supports long term wellness, and keeps your pet feeling their best. Here are a few ways to begin the new year on the right paw:

🩺 Schedule a wellness exam: Regular checkups help monitor your pet’s overall health and catch small concerns before they become bigger ones. 🦷 Plan a dental checkup: Dental health affects more than just fresh breath. A dental exam can help prevent discomfort and support whole body wellness. 🔬 Consider preventive screenings: Bloodwork, parasite testing, and age appropriate screenings give a clear picture of your pet’s health and help guide personalized care.

Starting the new year with proactive care is a simple way to keep your pet happy, healthy, and by your side for years to come. Give us a call at (702) 453-1220, or visit our website https://vcahospitals.com/nellis

Day 11 of our 12 Days of Pet Health: Year End Medication Check

As the year winds down, it is a great time to make sure your pet is up to date on the medications that keep them healthy and protected. A quick review now can help avoid any gaps in care during the busy holiday season. Here are a few things to check:

💊 Keep medications on hand: This time of year gets busy, so it is helpful to check that you have the next doses of your pet’s medications ready. 🦟 Keep flea and tick protection going: Parasites are still active in many areas through winter, so staying consistent is important. ❤️ Continue heartworm prevention: Heartworm preventives should be given year round. Now is a good time to confirm you have doses ready heading into the new year.

Our home delivery and in-hospital pharmacy make it easy to stay on track. If you need refills or have questions about your pet’s medications, our team is here to help. Give us a call at (702) 453-1220, or visit our website https://vcahospitals.com/nellis
