They give the vaccines, assist with surgeries, comfort nervous patients, and somehow still find time for a few extra cuddles. 🩵🐾
It's Vet Tech Appreciation Week, and we're taking a moment to recognize three very special people who help make everything we do at the SPCA Veterinary Care Center possible.
Meet Caroline, Avery, and Cassidy!❤️
Our veterinary technicians are involved in just about every part of a pet's visit. From preparing patients for surgery and monitoring anesthesia to assisting with exams, administering treatments, and making sure every animal feels as comfortable as possible.
And they've certainly been busy!
So far this year, our Veterinary Care Center team has:
🐾 Performed over 2,000 surgeries
💉 Administered over 3,000 vaccinations
Behind those numbers are thousands of little moments that don't always get noticed. A nervous dog who needs a few extra minutes to feel comfortable. A frightened cat who needs a gentler approach. A patient waking up from surgery who just needs someone nearby.
Their work takes skill, patience, compassion, and a whole lot of heart. And while the medical care they provide is incredibly important, it's the way they care for their patients that makes us especially proud.
So this week, we're giving our veterinary technicians some well-deserved recognition.
Caroline, Avery, and Cassidy — thank you for everything you do for our patients, their families, and the animals who depend on us.
We're lucky to have you! 🩵🐾
