🐾💙 VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK SPOTLIGHT: MEET CINDY!💙🐾

As we wrap up National Veterinary Technician Week, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Cindy, one of the compassionate and dedicated veterinary technicians who has been an important part of the Addison Animal Hospital team since Fall 2016!

Cindy’s passion for caring for animals began even before joining our team. In 2014, she started volunteering at the DuPage Wildlife Center (formerly Willowbrook Wildlife Center). Her dedication led her to become a seasonal Wildlife Keeper for two years, where she gained hands-on experience caring for injured and orphaned wildlife and helping prepare them for their return to the wild. 🦉🦊🐢

🎓 Cindy earned her Associate Degree in Science from the College of DuPage in 2015, majoring in Biology. Her background, knowledge, and continued desire to learn have helped make her an invaluable part of our veterinary team.

At home, Cindy is just as surrounded by animals! 🐾 She enjoys spending time with her family, especially her two young children, Isabella and Matteo. Her household also includes Penelope, the former Addison Animal Hospital cat, three box turtles, and a fish! 🐱🐢🐢🐢🐟

When she’s not caring for patients, Cindy enjoys reading, traveling, attending concerts, and spending time outdoors.

We are incredibly grateful for Cindy and all that she brings to Addison Animal Hospital. Her compassion, experience, and dedication make a difference every day—not only for our patients, but for their families and our entire team. ❤️

Happy Veterinary Technician Week, Cindy! Thank you for everything you do! 🩺🐾

🐾💙 VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK SPOTLIGHT: MEET JASMINE!💙🐾

As we continue celebrating National Veterinary Technician Week, we’re excited to introduce you to Jasmine, a wonderful addition to the Addison Animal Hospital team! 🩺🐶🐱

🎓 Jasmine graduated from College of DuPage in 2025, earning her Veterinary Assistant Certificate. She is currently continuing her education and working toward becoming a Certified Pharmacy Technician. Her commitment to learning and growing in the veterinary field is something we truly admire!

Through her education and experience, Jasmine has developed a strong understanding of both the science behind animal health and the importance of compassion, patience, and a calm presence when caring for pets and supporting their families.

Jasmine is hardworking, adaptable, and empathetic. She believes that kindness, patience, and clear communication are essential to building trust. While she may be a little shy at first, once she gets comfortable, she forms meaningful connections with those around her. Whether she’s helping a nervous patient, assisting a client, or working alongside her coworkers, Jasmine is always focused on providing the best care possible. ❤️

🎶 When she’s not at the hospital, Jasmine enjoys discovering new music and exploring different artists and genres. She also loves building figurines and creating crafts, giving her a creative outlet to relax and unwind. And if you’re looking for a movie recommendation, Jasmine is definitely the person to ask! 🎬 She enjoys all kinds of movies, but horror is her favorite! 👻

We are so happy to have Jasmine as part of our Addison Animal Hospital family. Her dedication to learning, compassionate nature, and desire to help others make her a wonderful part of our team!

Happy Veterinary Technician Week, Jasmine! Thank you for all that you do for our patients, clients, and team! 🐾💙

🐾💙VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK SPOTLIGHT: MEET JORGE!💙🐾

As we continue celebrating National Veterinary Technician Week, we’re proud to introduce you to Jorge, one of the most experienced and dedicated members of the Addison Animal Hospital team! 🩺🐶🐱

Jorge has been a veterinary technician at Addison Animal Hospital since 2007, but his passion for animal care began long before that. His veterinary career started in 1992 at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where he first gained experience caring for animals in need. He later spent 10 years at Blum Animal Hospital, continuing to build his knowledge and experience while providing compassionate care to pets and their families.

With more than three decades of experience in veterinary medicine, Jorge brings an incredible depth of knowledge, skill, and hands-on experience to our hospital. He is also fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing him to communicate with and support a diverse range of clients and their pets. ❤️

But Jorge’s love for animals doesn’t stop when he leaves the hospital! 🐾 Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Trisha, whom he married in August 2016, and their two daughters. Their home is also filled with furry and feathered family members, including their dogs Jasmine, Julian, and Guillermo, and chickens Daisy and Peach! 🐶🐔

🌲 Jorge is a true lover of nature and wildlife. He enjoys spending time outdoors, visiting the dog park, fishing, and camping. His compassion for animals extends well beyond our household pets. Over the years, Jorge has helped rescue and care for wildlife including squirrels, geese, snakes, rabbits, frogs, and owls, often bringing injured or orphaned animals to wildlife rehabilitation centers where they could receive the care they needed. 🦉🐿️🐢

Jorge’s years of experience, dedication to animal welfare, and genuine compassion for every animal he encounters make him an invaluable part of our Addison Animal Hospital family.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week, Jorge! Thank you for more than 30 years of caring for animals and for everything you do for our patients, clients, and team! 🐾💙

🐾💙 VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK SPOTLIGHT: MEET JESSICA! 💙🐾

We’re excited to introduce you to a wonderful member of the Addison Animal Hospital team! 💙

Jessica is a friendly, hardworking member of our team with a genuine love for animals and a dream of attending veterinary school in the future. She brings a positive attitude, curiosity, and a love for learning to everything she does.

🎓 Jessica completed her undergraduate studies at Loyola University Chicago and went on to earn her MBA from Louisiana State University. Her dedication to education and continued growth is just one of the many qualities that make her such a great addition to our team.

🐶 Outside of the hospital, Jessica loves spending time outdoors—hiking, exploring new places, and enjoying the sunshine. She also loves traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and experiences.

📸 And if she’s traveling or exploring, there’s a good chance she has her camera with her! Photography is one of Jessica’s favorite hobbies, especially capturing nature, animals, and the beautiful places she visits.

We’re so happy to have Jessica on our team and love watching her grow her knowledge and experience as she works towards achieving her dreams! 🩺🐾

Be sure to say hello to Jessica the next time you see her at Addison Animal Hospital!❤️Happy Veterinary Technician Week, Jessica! Thank you for all that you do for our patients, clients, and team! 🐾💙

🐾💙 Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!💙🐾

This week, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our wonderful veterinary technicians and assistants and all that they do for our patients, our clients, and our hospital every single day!

Being a veterinary technician is so much more than one job — it’s many jobs rolled into one. Our techs and assistants are nurses, anesthetists, phlebotomists, radiology technicians, laboratory technicians, surgical assistants, dental assistants, pharmacy experts, patient advocates, educators, and so much more. They monitor anesthesia, draw blood, place catheters, take X-rays, run laboratory tests, assist with surgeries and dental procedures, administer medications, care for hospitalized patients, educate clients, comfort frightened animals, and help our veterinarians provide the best possible care.

And that’s just the technical side of the job. ❤️

Our technicians spend countless hours cleaning, preparing, organizing, stocking, answering questions, comforting patients, helping coworkers, and making sure the hospital continues to run smoothly. They work through busy days, handle stressful situations, care for patients who are scared or hurting, and somehow still manage to give each animal the compassion and attention they deserve.

They are often the ones holding a nervous pet, reassuring an anxious owner, staying beside a patient during recovery, or noticing the small change that can make a big difference in that patient's care.

Our hospital simply would not be as successful without them. Their knowledge, dedication, teamwork, compassion, and hard work are a huge part of what allows us to provide the high-quality care our patients deserve.

To our amazing veterinary technicians: Thank you! Thank you for the long days, the messy jobs, the difficult cases, the late nights, the endless cleaning, the patience, the compassion, and most of all, for the love and care you give to every patient who comes through our doors. 🐶🐱❤️

We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you and everything you do for the Addison Animal Hospital. Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! 🎉🐾 We appreciate you more than you know!

🐾🐶HOW MANY DIFFERENT MASTIFF BREEDS ARE THERE?🐶🐾

When you hear the word “Mastiff,” you might picture the classic English Mastiff—but did you know there are many different Mastiff breeds and Mastiff-type dogs from around the world? 🌎❤️

Although they can look very different, these breeds often share the same traits that make Mastiffs so special: loyalty, courage, devotion, and BIG personalities!

🐾MEET THE MASTIFF FAMILY!🐾

🇬🇧 English Mastiff
The classic gentle giant! Massive, powerful, and known for being calm and devoted to their families.

🇮🇹 Cane Corso
An athletic Italian guardian known for intelligence, loyalty, and confidence.

🇪🇸 Spanish Mastiff
A huge, powerful livestock guardian originally developed to protect flocks from predators.

🇫🇷 Dogue de Bordeaux
Also known as the French Mastiff, this muscular breed is affectionate, loyal, and unmistakably wrinkly! ❤️

🇹🇷 Kangal Dog
A powerful Turkish livestock guardian known for its courage, independence, and protective instincts.

🇧🇷 Fila Brasileiro

🇯🇵 Tosa
A Japanese breed developed as a powerful working and sporting dog, known for its strength and dignified temperament.

🇿🇦 Boerboel

🇪🇸 Pyrenean Mastiff

🐾FUN FACT: The word Mastiff isn't always used consistently around the world. Some breeds are officially named “Mastiff,” while others are considered Mastiff-type breeds because of their history, structure, and working roles.

From the English Mastiff to the Cane Corso, Neapolitan Mastiff, Boerboel, and beyond, these incredible dogs come in many shapes, sizes, coats, and personalities—but they all have one thing in common...

❤️THEY HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF DOG TO LOVE! ❤️
