Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week to our wonderful tech team! We are so grateful for everything they do, and that had us wondering... Do you know what a day in a veterinary technician’s shoes look like? 🐾

It’s a little bit of everything: helping pets feel safe, supporting their families, assisting with exams and procedures, keeping a close eye on each patient, and being there for the small moments that make a big difference.

Every day brings something new, but compassion and teamwork are always part of the job. This Vet Tech Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the skills, care, and dedication our veterinary technicians bring to West Chelsea Veterinary and the pets who count on them.

Swipe through for a glimpse of a day in their shoes—and join us in thanking our wonderful tech team! 💜

Fall cleaning means new hazards for curious noses. 🧼 Mothballs, chimney cleaners, and other seasonal products should always be stored where pets can’t reach them.

Joint health starts long before the senior years. 🐕 Help protect your dog’s mobility by keeping them at a healthy weight, providing regular low-impact exercise like walking or swimming, and avoiding sudden increases in strenuous activity. Keep nails trimmed and provide good traction at home to reduce unnecessary strain on joints. Our team can also recommend joint supplements or other preventive options based on your dog’s age, breed, and lifestyle. 🐾

🍂 Fall views are better from a safe window.

Even indoor-only cats can leap, climb, or push against a screen when something outside catches their attention, and standard insect screens aren’t always strong enough to hold them.

Help keep your cat safely inside:

🐾 Use securely fitted, pet-resistant screens or window guards

🐾 Check screens regularly for tears, loose frames, and gaps

🐾 Limit how far unscreened windows can open

🐾 Take extra precautions in apartments and high-rise homes

A secure window lets your cat enjoy the view and gives you greater peace of mind. 🐈

Thinking about adopting a dog? 🐾 Ask about their health history, routine, activity level, training, and experiences with people and pets. The answers can help you find the right match.

Once you say yes, schedule their first veterinary visit with us!

Supporting your senior pet starts with recognizing that chronic pain becomes more common with age. During Animal Pain Awareness Month, remember that routine veterinary exams, maintaining a healthy weight, and personalized pain management can help keep older pets active, comfortable, and enjoying life. If you've noticed changes in your pet's mobility or behavior, schedule a veterinary visit to discuss the best care plan. ❤️

Whether you adopted from a shelter, rehomed from a friend, or welcomed a new puppy or kitten into your family, establishing a relationship with a veterinarian right away is essential.

Rabies vaccination is one of the first things we'll confirm or establish for any new pet. Even if the previous owner says they were vaccinated, we recommend having records transferred and reviewed.

Looking for healthy treats to share with your pup? These dog-friendly foods can make great snacks when served properly and in moderation!

Remember:

🍎 Remove pits, seeds, cores, and rinds where applicable.

🎃 Choose plain pumpkin—not pumpkin pie filling.

🍽️ Introduce new foods slowly and offer them as treats, not meal replacements.

If you're ever unsure whether a food is safe for your dog, give us a call—we're happy to help!

Did you know dogs can learn sign language? 🐾

Dogs are excellent visual learners and can learn to respond to signed cues just as they learn spoken commands. For deaf dogs, sign language provides a clear, consistent way to communicate and helps strengthen the bond between dogs and their people.

Whether your dog is deaf or hearing, learning signed cues can be a fun and rewarding way to train together. The "sit" sign featured here is a great place to start!

Every dog has their own unique looks and personality. 🐶💙

If you had to describe your dog using just one word, what would it be?

Share your one word in the comments. We'd love to see how you'd describe your best friend!

Happy National Dog Week! 🐾
