Congratulations to Ashlyn Lesch-Hill from VCA Country Oaks on passing her Veterinary Technician National Exam. You are on your way to becoming a great Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT)!
“VCA provided me with an immense amount of support through the VTNE process. My regional technician manager, Rosea, helped me all the way from my test application to my license application. Vet tech prep was a great study tool along with the VCA Vetflix series! They also helped cover cost factors which was a huge stress of my shoulders. I'm so thankful for all the support I've received along the way and am so proud to have passed my VTNE. “

In recent months, the Los Angeles area has reported widespread cases of both canine influenza and leptospirosis among dogs. Given that both these diseases are highly communicable and harmful to animals, we recommend that all dogs be vaccinated for both. If your dog(s) has not been vaccinated, we urge you to see your veterinarian as soon as possible. We want to do all we can to protect dogs and their human families.
