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.

October is National Animal Safety and Protection Month, a timely reminder of the important role we play in keeping our domestic pets and local wildlife safe, healthy, and happy.

While we never expect emergencies or accidents to happen, taking proactive steps today can save an animal's life tomorrow.
Here is a quick checklist to help protect the animals you love this month:Update Identification:
🐾Ensure your pets wear secure collars with up-to-date ID tags, and make sure their microchip registration is current.
🐾Pet-Proof Your Environment: Secure loose electrical wires, hide small choking hazards, and remove toxic household chemicals and plants like lilies from areas your animals can reach.
🐾Stay Proactive with Healthcare: Keep up with regular veterinary check-ups and routine vaccinations to build a strong shield against preventable illnesses.
🐾Create an Emergency Plan: Prepare a pet emergency kit with a few days of food, water, and medical records, and designate who will be responsible for locating and transporting your animals during an evacuation.
🐾Respect Local Wildlife: Learn how to safely coexist with wild animals in your neighborhood by securing trash bins and staying alert for animals on the road.

Let's use this month to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Share a photo of your furry family member in the comments below and tell us how you keep them safe!
