Meet Certified Vet Tech Kaylie! She has been with Pearl Animal Hospital since 2019 and we are so grateful for her dedication to our patients and clients ❤️🩺

I was inspired to become a vet tech at my first job in the veterinary field over 10 years ago. I worked with this family and this little girl thought I was already a vet tech and thanked me for saving her dog. It was only there for a hot spot, but I’ll never forget that feeling. Vet techs are truly such an important part of the field.

My favorite part of my job is getting to work with critical patients and running anesthesia. There’s something so rewarding about getting to help an animal at their lowest and watching them get better day after day because of the medicine that you practice. We cheer for their health just as much as the pet parents do!

I have one cat named Posey, and I have had her since she was 4 months old. She’s truly my heart and I wish that she would stop getting older.

I wish all pet parents knew how deeply we bond their pets. We get to know them well and learn what provides the most positive experience for them at the vet. We spend time making sure they are comforted and know they are loved. If they aren’t feeling well, we go the extra step to figure out any small thing that helps them feel better and remind them how loved they are by their families.

My days off look a little different now while I prepare to step into motherhood, so they are usually spent organizing the nursery with Posey by my side to supervise. Other times I really just enjoy reading a book or spending time with friends.

Meet Rachel, one of our Certified Veterinary Technicians! 🐾 ❤️

1. What inspired you to become a veterinary technician?

Back when I started working in veterinary medicine 12 years ago as a receptionist, there was a veterinary technician who handled cases with grace, knowledge, compassion, and elegance. Seeing her nursing skills in action left me in awe as I came to the realization “I want to be just like her.”
I’ve always had such a love for animals and I felt it to be my responsibility to advocate for those without a voice.

2. What is your favorite part of your job?

I love teaching clients what I know and showing them how to perform certain tasks for their pet such as subcutaneous fluids/injections or nail trims so they can be involved and confident in their pet’s care. Cheering them on and forming those personal, lifelong connections with clients and patients bring me immense joy.

3. Tell us about your pets!

I currently only have 1 pet: a 6 year old male ball python named Hydra (often called Noodleman). He loves stealing my phone to type random messages, steal my video game controller and take over (true story: he loves Power Wash Simulator), being wrapped around my neck as I go about my routine, and tickling my ear with his tongue flicks.

4. What is one thing you wish every pet owner knew?

Desensitization and positive reinforcement is so, so, so important! Getting your pet used to everything and anything you can think of: car rides, kids, stethoscopes, people in scrubs, the weigh scale, needles, oral medications, everything! Start early and never stop having those positive experiences with certain stimuli. I absolutely LOVE happy visits to the clinic for this reason!

5. How do you like to spend your days off?

I love playing video games/board games with friends, catching a movie with my husband (most likely a Marvel movie), or planning our next big adventure (a did you know fact: When my husband and I first got married, we said we’ll see all 50 states of the USA by the time we’re 35. We only have 7 states to go!)

Jack came in to see Dr. Parker for ear and paw concerns, but we’re a little too distracted by that face to find anything wrong with him. 😂🐾 He’s just too cute to diagnose.
