This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're celebrating the incredible Associates who make our hospitals thrive — like Karen, who began as a CSR and never stopped growing and like Joanne, who sought mentorship and support to obtain her VTNE.

At VCA, we're proud to champion our veterinary technicians every step of the way — offering mentorship, encouragement, and the resources to help you reach your full potential.

To every vet tech in our VCA family: thank you. What you do matters deeply — to our teams, to our patients, and to the pet owners who trust us with their most beloved companions.

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.

To our valued clients: In December, our hospital will merge with our sister hospital, VCA New London in Waterford, Connecticut.

VCA Turco has a long legacy in the Westerly area and has helped countless pets live long and healthy lives over the years. Our physical VCA Turco location is in need of much updating and repair in order to continue to provide your very best experience. For this reason, we join teams and forces under one roof, where we will be able to serve you even better with added services, availability, and space, in a newly renovated building.

Our last day at VCA Turco Animal Hospital is December 15th, 2023. You will still see familiar faces in our new location, so rest assured that the care you are accustomed to will continue. Although we are saddened to be leaving our Turco location, we look forward to seeing you and your pet in the new “digs”.

Today, November 2nd, we will be closing early at 4pm. We apologize for any inconvenience and will be back in the office tomorrow morning at 8am with our regular hours. Thank you!

Happy National Pumpkin Day 🎃
Do you carve or paint your pumpkins to look like animals? Share your craftiness below!

Always remember: Festive decorations set the Halloween mood but can pose health risks for your pet. While non-toxic, pumpkin and pumpkin seeds can upset a pet’s stomach, especially when consumed in large quantities. Lit candles in Jack-O-Lanterns become fire hazards when toppled by a curious pet.
