This is Veterinary Technician Week and we want to take this opportunity to thank our two amazing Licensed Veterinary Technicians, Kayson and Jesse! They are both very dedicated, hard working, caring and skilled professionals and we feel blessed to have them help us provide extraordinary care for your beloved furry family members.

Licensed veterinary technicians (LVTs) are the veterinary equivalent of nurses. They have credentials and work under a veterinarian’s supervision. Their main areas of work include:

- Clinical nursing: patient assessment, vitals, restraint, IV catheter placement, fluid therapy, medication administration, and wound and bandage care.
- Anesthesia and surgical support: induction (where allowed), monitoring patients under anesthesia, surgical prep, instrument and sterile field management, and post-op recovery.
- Diagnostics: blood draws, running in-house lab work and cytology, radiographs, dental radiographs, and helping with ultrasound and other imaging.
- Dentistry: prophylaxis, scaling and polishing, charting, and dental films. Extractions remain the veterinarian’s job.
- Client communication: discharge instructions, home-care and preventive-care education, and nutrition and behavior counseling.
- Practice operations: pharmacy and inventory, controlled-substance logs, equipment upkeep, and often training and supervising assistants.

To become an LVT, a person typically completes an AVMA-accredited program and passes the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Examination). They then hold a state license and must keep up continuing education.
