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.

🐾💚 National Pet Wellness Month 💚🐾

October is National Pet Wellness Month—the perfect time to give your furry family members a little extra attention and make sure they’re feeling their very best! 🐶🐱

Wellness isn’t just about treating illness. It’s about preventing problems and helping your pet enjoy a longer, healthier life. ❤️

🗓️ Schedule regular wellness exams
💉 Keep vaccines and preventives up to date
💙 Don’t forget dental health!
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight and nutritious diet
🐾 Provide exercise and mental enrichment
👀 Watch for changes in behavior, appetite, or activity

A little prevention today can make a big difference tomorrow! 🐾💚

📅 Is your pet due for their wellness visit? Give us a call—we’d love to see them!

🐾🌎 World Rabies Day 🌎🐾

September 28 is World Rabies Day, a reminder that rabies is a serious disease—but one that is preventable! 💙

Rabies can affect mammals, including our beloved dogs and cats, and once symptoms appear, the disease is almost always fatal. The good news? Vaccination is one of the best ways to protect your pet and your family. 🐶🐱

🐾 Keep your pet’s rabies vaccine up to date
🐾 Avoid contact with unknown or wild animals
🚨 Take animal bites or potential exposures seriously
📋 Make sure your pet’s vaccination records are current. Download the myVCA app!

Regular wellness visits are a great opportunity to make sure your pet is protected and up to date on their vaccines.

Protect your pets. Protect your family. Help prevent rabies. ❤️🐾

💙 National Service Dog Month 💙🐕

September is National Service Dog Month, a time to recognize the incredible dogs who dedicate their lives to helping people live more independently. 🐾

Service dogs can assist with a variety of tasks, including mobility support, medical alerts, retrieving items, and helping their handlers navigate everyday life.

These amazing working dogs deserve our respect, patience, and appreciation. ❤️

🐾 Remember: When you see a service dog working, please:

Don't pet or distract them
Don't call their name or try to get their attention
Don't offer food or treats
Give them and their handler plenty of space

Behind every service dog is a remarkable partnership built on trust, training, and unconditional companionship.

Today and every day, we celebrate these hardworking heroes and the incredible difference they make. 🐕💙

Thank you to all the service dogs—and the people who train, care for, and work alongside them! 🐾

🐾🚨 National Disaster Preparedness Month 🚨🐾

Is your family prepared for an emergency—including the furry, feathered, and scaled members? 🐶🐱🐰

National Disaster Preparedness Month is a great reminder to make a plan before an emergency happens.

Here are a few ways to prepare your pets:

🎒 Build a pet emergency kit with food, water, medications, first-aid supplies, a leash/carrier, and comfort items.
🆔 Make sure identification is up-to-date and consider microchipping your pet.
📋 Keep medical records handy, including vaccination information and medications. Download the myVCA app!
🏠 Know where you can go—identify pet-friendly shelters, hotels, or friends/family who can help.
📱 Create an emergency contact list and include your veterinarian and a backup caregiver.
🐾 Have a plan for every pet and make sure everyone in the household knows what to do.

Remember: If it isn't safe for you, it isn't safe for your pets. Never leave pets behind during an evacuation.

A little preparation today can make a huge difference tomorrow. ❤️🐾
