Enrichment is just as important for our staff as it is for your pet! We spent a little extra time snuggling a patient, seeing who could draw up 1mL exactly without looking, and racing to pick up mini M&Ms with chopsticks! Rest assured no dogs were harmed (or fed candy) during the filming of these videos 🐶

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.

We're so excited to announce that we passed our AAHA Re-Accreditation Evaluation!!! But what is AAHA? And what does that mean for you and your pet?

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits non-emergency veterinary hospitals throughout the United States and Canada on a comprehensive list of standards, ranging from pain management and patient care to team training and practice management. Fewer than 5,000 animal hospitals have committed to this VOLUNTARY accreditation process, and to maintain this elective accreditation, practices must continue to learn and improve between their evaluations, which take place every three years.

As an AAHA-accredited practice, we take an individualized approach to care because we understand that every patient is not only unique, but a valued member of your family. Your pet’s wellbeing is our top priority, and these practices strive to provide each animal with the diagnostics and treatments they need while considering the pet’s comfort and stress at each step. From routine checkups to the most challenging moments of pet ownership, we are dedicated to providing you with the information, options, and support you need to ensure your pet has a quality life—and so that you can have peace of mind.
