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.

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.

🇺🇸 Remembering the Rescue Dogs of 9/11 🐾
Today, we remember the incredible search and rescue dogs who worked tirelessly alongside their handlers in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
With courage, loyalty, and an extraordinary sense of purpose, these dogs searched through the rubble, bringing hope to a heartbreaking scene. They comforted first responders and helped in ways that words can never fully express.
Their bravery, dedication, and unconditional love will never be forgotten. ❤️🐾

🐾 September is National Pet Health Insurance Month! 🐾
Our pets are family, and when the unexpected happens, having pet health insurance can help make sure financial concerns don’t stand between you and the care your pet needs. ❤️
From unexpected injuries and illnesses to diagnostic testing, surgery, hospitalization and specialty care, insurance may help offset eligible veterinary expenses—giving you more options when important decisions need to be made.

Pet insurance policies vary, so take some time to research coverage, exclusions, deductibles and reimbursement options to find what’s right for you and your pet.
Because you can’t predict when they’ll need us—but you can be prepared. 🐾
