🐾 DID YOU KNOW?! 🐾
Did you know that our team at Alta Vista Animal Hospital & Pet Resort has FOUR Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) and ONE Veterinary Technician Student on staff?! 🎉🐶🐱
So… what exactly is an RVT?
A Registered Veterinary Technician is a highly trained veterinary professional who has completed an accredited veterinary technology program, passed a national credentialing exam, and met the requirements to become registered in their state. RVTs are an incredibly important part of the veterinary team and work closely with veterinarians to provide high-quality patient care. 🩺💙
Our RVTs do SO much behind the scenes and at the bedside — including anesthesia monitoring, surgery assistance, dental procedures, laboratory work, radiology, patient monitoring, medication administration, treatment plans, client education, nursing care, and so much more!
Having multiple RVTs in a clinic means our doctors have a knowledgeable, skilled team supporting them and, most importantly, our patients receive an even higher level of care. ❤️
We are incredibly proud of the knowledge, dedication, and compassion our RVTs bring to Alta Vista every single day!
And we’re excited to have our vet tech student learning and growing with us as she works toward joining the ranks! 🎓🐾
If you see an RVT caring for your pet, know that you’re seeing a highly trained veterinary professional who plays a HUGE role in your pet’s health and well-being. 🐾❤️
We’re pretty lucky to have such an amazing team! 👏
