🩺🐾 There’s SO much that goes into every exam, and our vet techs, Janelle and Steph, are right there through it all! From monitoring animals under anesthesia and taking blood samples to run labs, trimming nails and hooves, and so much more, they play a HUGE role in keeping our animals healthy and thriving.

This Vet Tech Week, we’re giving you a peek at their roles during an exam and highlighting the incredible work they do every day! Join us in thanking Janelle and Steph for all they do!

Stop by our vet building viewing window on your next visit for a chance to see them in action. Get your tickets at the link in our bio!
