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.

Safe alternatives: Spider Plants, Boston Ferns, and Marigolds are generally pet-friendly!🔍

"My dog only goes out to use the bathroom, so they don’t need heartworm prevention, right?" 🚫🐕We hear this myth a lot!

Give us a call to get them tested and stocked up on their monthly preventatives!

Let's talk about the most common disease we see in adult pets: Dental Disease. By age 3, over 80% of dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease. Because they hide the pain so well, it often goes unnoticed until it's severe! Regular brushing and professional cleanings protect more than just their teeth—they protect their heart and kidneys, too.👋 Notice bad breath? It might be time for a dental check. Give us a call to book a quick peek!
