We're grateful this week - and EVERY week - for our absolutely amazing team of veterinary technicians.

These pros wear so many hats (although mainly it's a scrub cap at the hospital!) that we can't even capture them all: from lab techs and anesthetists to dental hygienists and phlebotomists, from pharmacists and x-ray techs to wound care nurses and emergency responders, from cheerleaders and grief counsellors to patient advocates and teachers - and perhaps the most challenging hat of all, doctor-wranglers!

The biggest of thank yous to Ashley, Maegan, Jody, Dean (yep, our hospital manager is also a technician!), Adrienne, Heather, Rachel, Karin, Jessy, Tylar, Karen and Georgia. You make our hospital a positive, caring, and supportive place. Your knowledge, empathy, skill, and genuine love for our patients and their humans is so appreciated.

Please join us in wishing our technicians - and ALL the incredible technicians lending their minds, hands, and hearts to help our fur-families - a very Happy Vet Tech Week!!!

Look at this face!! Adorable Andy, just 10 weeks old, came to see us today for his first ELVH visit. Andy was a champ for this new experience, making fast friends with the team and happy to let Dr. Petra check him out from nose to tail. And clearly, this happy guy was pleased to pose for a photo op. We're looking forward to watching Andy grow up up up into a lovely Saint Bernard!

These two adorable characters are Beaker and Bunsen, and this senior duo owns our wonderful veterinarian Dr. Rachel. They'll be the first to tell you how much kitties can benefit from regular vet visits as they enter their senior years! From early detection of health issues like diabetes or kidney disease, to helping to spot and manage signs of joint pain and osteoarthritis, regular check-ins with your veterinary team can help keep your cat's transition to seniorhood as smooth as possible.
