Happy Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week to our amazing LVTs! 💙🐾*
Becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician takes dedication, completing an accredited veterinary technology program, passing national licensing exams, and maintaining Virginia licensure through continuing education.
From small animals to horses and farm animals, our LVTs use specialized training and hands-on skills every day to provide exceptional patient care. They are the experts behind:
- Anesthesia monitoring and recovery
- IV catheters, blood draws, injections, and treatments
- Radiographs, lab work, and diagnostic sample collection
- Surgical prep, sterile technique, and surgical assistance
- Dental cleanings and dental radiographs
- Hospitalized-patient care, bandaging, and nursing treatments
- Emergency and critical-care monitoring
- Patient handling, comfort, and advocacy
Thank you for the knowledge, compassion, precision, and calm you bring to every patient, from the tiniest kitten to the biggest horse. We appreciate all you do! 💙🐶🐱🐴🐄
