Help us honor our essential support staff as we kick off National Veterinary Technician Week! This is a special time designated to recognize, celebrate and promote the valuable contributions that technicians and assistants make to the veterinary profession and to our communities. We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and thank our awesome staff for their hard working, caring and compassionate attitude that they exhibit every day.
Veterinary technicians are the backbone of every veterinary practice and unsung heroes of the veterinary profession. They go above and beyond to provide comfort, snuggles and the best care possible. They truly love their patients as they have big hearts and unwavering commitment. Each one of them treats your pets like their own, making a warm and caring environment for all.
Our technicians wear many hats every day. Their many roles range from exam room nurse, hospital/critical care nurse, surgical nurse/anesthetist, dental hygienist, phlebotomist/lab technician, to pharmacy and radiology technicians; the list goes on and on.
We are fortunate to have an extraordinary staff and cannot thank them enough for their courage, integrity and dedication to our practice and the veterinary field. We are grateful to you all and hope you feel loved and appreciated all year round -- our veterinary technicians Brianne, Missy and Nicole; receptionists Des and Maren and assistant Dylan!
Please remember to thank your veterinary staff for what they do. Their commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to animals should be honored, and they should be acknowledged for all their work and dedication to the welfare of animals every day, but especially during this celebratory week.
--Drs. Nonda and Tammy
