As we end Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, please join us in celebrating our Licensed Veterinary Technicians!
Who are Licensed Veterinary Technicians?
Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) are veterinary healthcare professionals who care and advocate for patients while educating and supporting clients. They must graduate from an accredited associates or bachelors program, pass a rigorous national examination, and maintain state licensure requiring ongoing continuing education.
Their duties range beyond nursing tasks and include performing laboratory procedures, diagnostic imaging, inducing and monitoring anesthesia, performing professional dental cleanings, and much more. Some LVTs may pursue advanced education and specialization.
Their compassion, skills, and commitment to life-long learning make LVTs invaluable assets to their patients, clinic, and community.
At VCA Braelinn Village Animal Hospital, we are fortunate to have several Licensed Veterinary Technicians on staff.
Please join us in recognizing the hard work and dedication of our Licensed Veterinary Technicians!

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.
