This week, we are proud to feature Ashley Raya, one of our wonderful veterinary technicians who has been part of the Ennis Veterinary Clinic family for 9 years! Ashley’s EVC story started when she was just a sophomore in high school, and what started as a high-school job turned into a career! EVC has been her first (and only) job, from high school all the way through tech school and into the skilled veterinary technician she is today. Talk about commitment! When Ashley isn’t at the clinic, she’s busy taking care of her crested geckos, which she breeds. And when we say busy, we mean BUSY! Her personal animal family currently includes 20+ crested geckos, a bearded dragon, a boa constrictor, six dogs, and a revolving door of foster animals.

FUN FACTS:
🩺 Favorite clinic skill: Surgery - especially running anesthesia.
🎤 Most-said phrase at EVC: Ashley is known to randomly sing… a LOT! She also frequently announces, “I’m overstimulated!” (which also happens a lot when you work in a busy vet clinic)
🐴 Spirit animal: Horse
🦇 Most exotic animal she’s worked with: A bat!
😂 What her EVC coworkers tease her about: Falling. All. The. Time. We’re not saying she’s clumsy… but her coworkers certainly have stories.

We’re incredibly grateful for Ashley and the leadership she brings to our team. Her knowledge, skill, compassion for every patient, professionalism with our clients, and unwavering faithfulness to EVC make her someone her coworkers can count on day after day. She’s a natural leader, a steady presence, and often the person you want nearby when things don’t go quite according to plan.

After 9 years at EVC, she has become one of the people our team knows they can depend on. We’re so thankful for her dedication, leadership, sense of humor, and all the ways she helps make our team stronger!

Today, October 29, 2026, is all about celebrating our adorable, curious, playful, and sometimes mischievous feline friends! From their tiny paws and gentle purrs to their funny little habits, cats have a special way of making every day brighter. Here's to the soft purrs, the sleepy naps and the little paws that make a house feel like a home.

Wishing every cat (and especially our EVC patients) a day filled with cozy naps, tasty treats, and plenty of affection! 🐾🐱💙

Halloween brings hazards for pets, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, which says emergency animal clinics see a spike in cases during October - and surprisingly, the biggest hazard may not be candy.

KEEP PETS SECURE
Pet owners should make sure pets are microchipped and have ID tags and collars in case they slip out an open door. Owners should also consider this before taking pets trick-or-treating.

CANDY DANGERS
Unattended candy can be dangerous for pets. Chocolate is not the only concern. Treats made with a sugar-free sweetener called xylitol can also be harmful. Pet owners should contact their veterinarian or poison control if pets get into either type of candy. Pets don’t usually unwrap candy before they eat it, either, and wrappers can be an issue as well if they get swallowed.

COSTUME TIPS
Keep costumes comfortable.
Don’t put pets in anything that restricts movement.
Make sure pets can see clearly.
Remove any small parts that can be chewed off and swallowed.
If pets show signs of distress, opt for a festive bandana instead.

Preparation is the top tip for a safe Halloween - a little bit of preparation can keep Halloween super fun and keep your pet out of the ER.

“Cooper here, reporting for duty! I’m helping with scheduling, taking notes, and supervising the humans today. And honestly, I think I’m a natural at this.”

Happy Furry Face Friday from EVC (and Cooper)! 🐾

This week's staff spotlight for "Behind the Scrubs" is Meghan Lantrip, who has been part of the Ennis Veterinary Clinic family for 6 years! Meghan helps keep EVC running smoothly in not one, but TWO roles - she’s both a veterinary technician and one of our front receptionists. Talk about being ready for whatever the day throws at you! When things get busy, Meghan is always willing to jump in wherever she’s needed. When she’s away from the clinic, Meghan enjoys spending time with her husband, binging her favorite shows, or getting lost in a good book. She’s also a proud dog mom to Daisy, her Beagle.

FUN FACTS:
💻 Favorite clinic skill: Computer/tech things or drawing blood when she’s teching
🛒 First job: Cashier at H-E-B
🙋‍♀️ Most-said phrase at EVC: “Can you reach that for me?”
🐟 Spirit animal: Some kind of fish!
👑 Dream pet: A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
🐄 Most exotic animal she’s worked with: Probably a cow in LVT school
📏 What her EVC coworkers tease her about: Being too short to reach things—and apparently, Dr. Z's jokes sometimes go "right over her head"!

We’re incredibly grateful for Meghan’s willingness to step into either of her roles whenever things get crazy and the team needs an extra hand. Her knowledge and skill, compassionate heart for fur babies to thrive, and commitment to EVC make her such a valuable part of our team.

Thank you, Meghan, for 6 years of dedication, flexibility, hard work, and for always being willing to help wherever you’re needed. We’re so lucky to have you on both sides of our clinic doors!

Our veterinarians at EVC simply can’t do their jobs without our hardworking, well-trained, compassionate technicians. It would be impossible to sum up a vet tech’s job in a single word because they do so much - and many of the things they do are handled by physicians or other doctors in human medicine. For example…

ANESTHESIA: Every day, in every vet practice, pets go under anesthesia. While vets know this is “routine", we never treat it like it’s not a serious thing - because it is. Vet techs are a vital part of the team when pets are under anesthesia, monitoring sedation to allow vets to make adjustments quickly if necessary.

DENTISTRY: Vet techs are also an essential part of the team when your pet is in for dental care. Those pearly whites you see in the end don’t begin to reveal the skill that goes into a dental cleaning. Working alongside your vet, techs get your pet’s teeth cleaned, polished and ready for you to maintain at home.

TRIAGE: Whenever there’s an emergency, one of the most critical tasks is to decide who needs attention most urgently and who can wait. They quickly take all the vitals, assess the animal’s condition and communicate their critical evaluation to the veterinarian.

SURGERY: In recent decades, the number of veterinary specialties has grown. One of these specialties is in surgery, where vet techs can now be certified after experience, training and testing. And while in human medicine, a surgical nurse will likely work in surgery and nowhere else, in vet med, highly trained technicians will work in many different areas within the clinic on any given day.

PHLEBOTOMY: When your doctor wants blood tests run, you sit down and offer your arm. That person on the other side of the table is called a phlebotomist. In vet med, that person is the vet tech. They do the blood draws, and on patients who are often far less cooperative than in human medicine. They also work as radiology techs, getting the X-rays that are often key to accurate diagnosis.

These are just some of the many different tasks that our vet techs are expected to do on a daily basis, and we acknowledge the great work they do, day in and day out.

“I'm just here to make sure everyone at the clinic gets their daily dose of floof. You’re welcome."

Happy FURRY FACE FRIDAY from EVC! 🐾

10/16/2026

For this week's “Behind the Scrubs” spotlight, we’re getting to know Shelby Rhoades, one of our wonderful veterinary technicians who has been part of the Ennis Veterinary Clinic family for 2 years. When Shelby isn’t at the clinic, she loves spending time with her husband, TC, and their baby girl, Kaycee. She also enjoys thrifting, rodeos, and pretty much ANY form of caffeine. At home, Shelby has her own little crew of four-legged friends: Tuff and June, her two dogs, and Tiller and Clyde, her two cats.

FUN FACTS:
👁️ Favorite clinic skill: Taking out eye packing. (She has definitely found her niche!)
🧹 First job: Maid for a cleaning company
😂 Most-said phrase at EVC: Technically, it’s less of a phrase and more of a facial expression. Her face tends to say exactly what her mind is thinking… ALWAYS.
🐂 Spirit animal: Brahman cow
🐺 Most exotic animal she’s worked with: A wolf hybrid!
👀 What her EVC coworkers tease her about: That expressive face! Shelby’s face apparently has zero filter and gives away exactly what she’s thinking before she ever says a word.

We’re so grateful for Shelby’s tender spirit, sweet smile, quiet willingness to jump in and help, and constant positivity. She has a way of making the people and animals around her feel cared for, and we’re lucky to have her on our team.

Thank you, Shelby, for 2 wonderful years of kindness, hard work and positivity! We’re so happy you’re part of the EVC family!
