While October is recognized as RVT month, we recognize ALL technicians who work in veterinary medicine!

Veterinary technicians wear many hats and complete many different tasks on a daily basis! Some of these include nail trims, blood draws, performing laboratory tests, taking radiographs, monitoring anesthesia, assisting with dental treatments and surgical procedures, client service representative, patient care, client education...and so much more!

Be sure to thank your technician the next time you stop in at the clinic!

Leave a comment for our technicians!

Warning: Su***de Awareness

While su***de is prevalent every day of the year, the month of September is “Su***de Prevention Awareness Month”. Every individual is affected by su***de, but did you know that the su***de rate for people who work in veterinary medicine is FOUR times more than the general public?

You are probably wondering why mental health (depression, anxiety, intense stress) and su***de is more prevalent in the veterinary industry. Listed below are some examples of how comments and actions can affect not only those in the veterinary profession but every place of employment.

A: Negative comments about cost and prices of services. We understand that finances can be tight, however, there is never a reason to verbally abuse staff. Kindness is appreciated. Let us know prior to an appointment if costs are a concern and we can discuss a different treatment plan.

B: Respect is shown in many ways but most importantly with kindness. Respect the doctors and their medical opinion. Respect support staff and their answers to questions, whether in person or over the phone. Opinions may vary, but the approach to a differing opinion can be discussed calmly, not with anger and loud voices.

C: When clients are upset with a situation, we kindly ask that the issue is presented to us so we can address the situation. Taking frustration to a public platform like social media can elevate emotions, cause conflict and increase the frustration.

Everyone who works in the veterinary industry shares one passion: a love for animals. We strive to help every patient and client and we APPRECIATE when clients meet us with kindness and respect.

The history of Centennial Animal Hospital and Gravenhurst Veterinary Services

Centennial Animal Hospital was established in Bracebridge in 1981 and, along with Gravenhurst Veterinary Services, was purchased by Dr. Mary DeCaire in 1982.

In 1983, the hospital was moved to the current location for the original building at Fife’s farm. Originally the practice catered to both large and small animal clients but has been exclusively small animal since 1995. Dr. Claire Duder joined the practice in 1987 and became a partner in 2003.

Over the years we have grown from one veterinarian and one employee to a practice team composed of over 35 doctors, technicians, client services representatives, patient care workers, groomer and maintenance staff.

A major renovation in 2000 tripled the floor space of Centennial Animal Hospital and in 2004 Gravenhurst Veterinary Services also greatly increased office size with a move to a much larger building, in the same heritage complex, at the Gravenhurst Train Station.
