As pet owners, we understand the profound impact that animals can have on our lives. They offer companionship during challenging times and remind us of the joy in everyday moments. For many veterans, pets are not just animals; they are lifelines that help navigate the complexities of post-service life.

Let's take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the vital role pets play in the healing journey of our veterans. Whether you’re a veteran yourself or know someone who is, consider sharing your stories about how your furry friends have made a difference.

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.
