Hip, Hip, Hooray for Vet Techs!

Did you know that October 14-20^th is National Veterinary Technician  Week?  Take this opportunity to celebrate your pet’s technician!  While your veterinarian is the one responsible for diagnosing, prognosing, prescribing medication, and performing surgeries, your pet’s veterinary technician is essentially your pet’s nurse.  They have completed a two- or four-year degree involving specialized training and are certified and licensed by the state to be able to provide the best possible care for all pets.  They are also required to complete continuing education so that they remain on the cutting-edge.  Veterinary technicians are a valuable part of your pet’s healthcare team.  Be sure to let them know how much they are appreciated!
