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.

While they may be cute, costumes are better suited to humans and not pets.

If you decide to dress them up this Halloween, make sure costumes are loose enough to allow free movement, but snug enough to prevent tripping. Also, be aware of choking hazards, like buttons!

For more safety tips, call your VCA veterinarian.

Decorate your home with your pet in mind this Halloween. While pumpkins are non-toxic, they can cause upset stomachs if consumed in large quantities and if lit, can cause burns. Hang decorative lights out of reach, as cables can cause electrocution.

Consult your VCA veterinarian for more holiday tips.
