⏰ It’s time to FALL BACK!

A friendly reminder from the VCA Colonial Animal Hospital team to turn your clocks back one hour before bed tonight!

An extra hour of sleep sounds wonderful… unless your pet’s internal breakfast clock has other plans!

Be patient with your furry early birds as they adjust—and enjoy a little extra snuggle time. 💙

Does your pet let you sleep in, or is breakfast always right on schedule? Tell us below! 👇

A little overdue, but much too exciting not to share—congratulations to Eli, LVT!
Eli passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE) and is now a New York State Licensed Veterinary Technician! We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and heart she has put into reaching this milestone. 💙
To make this achievement even more special, our Technician Manager, Sabrina Moore, LVT, introduced a wonderful new Colonial tradition: when our veterinary assistants become LVTs, they get to choose a celebratory lunch!
Eli chose a Mexican Fiesta, and our team came together for a festive potluck filled with delicious food, smiles, and plenty of Colonial pride!
Please join all of us at VCA Colonial Animal Hospital in congratulating Eli! We’ve loved watching you grow, and we’re excited to cheer you on in this next chapter. You earned those letters! 🎓🐾

🐾 Not all of our amazing LVTs love being in front of the camera—and during their special week, we wanted to celebrate them without making them pose for too many photos! ❤️ We let them do what they do best: caring for our patients.
But we did catch a little Club Tech history: Linda was the first LVT to check it out! ✨ This little sanctuary gave our techs a place to step away, enjoy a treat, and refresh and recharge.
Linda is fairly new to VCA Colonial Animal Hospital, but she brings 25 years of experience as a Licensed Veterinary Technician! We adore Linda and are so happy she has joined our Colonial team and that she helped break in their special retreat.
Please join us in giving Linda a warm welcome! ❤️🐾

❤️ As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, we want our LVTs to know: the celebration lasts a week, but our appreciation lasts all year.

Our Licensed Veterinary Technicians mean so much to VCA Colonial Animal Hospital. They bring skill, compassion, and heart to moments that can be joyful, difficult, and everything in between. They comfort frightened patients, support worried families, notice the little things, and help one another through demanding days and nights.

This week, we had the pleasure of caring for them. ❤️

We enjoyed plenty of food—including breakfast generously provided by the good people at Purina, Moe’s for lunch, and a tech-only dinner—plus laughter and friendly competition during our Tech Olympics!

But we think the highlight was Club Tech: their own little retreat to put their feet up, enjoy snacks and activities, and take a moment to relax and recharge. A space that said, “You spend so much time caring for everyone else. This is for you.”

To our amazing LVTs: we see your dedication, we value your expertise, and we are grateful for the people you are. You make a difference in so many lives—including ours.

Thank you for everything you give, this week and always. 🐾❤️

This National Veterinary Technician Week, we're celebrating the incredible Associates who make our hospitals thrive — like Karen, who began as a CSR and never stopped growing and like Joanne, who sought mentorship and support to obtain her VTNE.

At VCA, we're proud to champion our veterinary technicians every step of the way — offering mentorship, encouragement, and the resources to help you reach your full potential.

To every vet tech in our VCA family: thank you. What you do matters deeply — to our teams, to our patients, and to the pet owners who trust us with their most beloved companions.

September is National Service Dog Month, and before the month comes to an end, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible dogs who dedicate their lives to helping others.

Service dogs are so much more than companions. Through specialized training, they help people live with greater independence, confidence, and safety — performing important tasks that can truly be life-changing.

To every service dog working quietly beside their person each day: we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate the remarkable work you do.

And a special thank you to the trainers, organizations, families, and veterinary teams who help keep these amazing dogs healthy and ready to do what they do best.

From all of us at VCA Colonial Animal Hospital, thank you to every service dog for your dedication, loyalty, and extraordinary partnership. 🐾

September is Pet Memorial Month.

The pets we’ve loved leave paw prints on our hearts long after we say goodbye. We remember their little routines, their big personalities, and all the ways they made life brighter.

This month, we invite you to honor a beloved pet who has passed. If you feel comfortable, share a photo, their name, and a favorite memory in the comments. We would be honored to remember them with you.

With love from all of us at VCA Colonial Animal Hospital. 🐾
