🐾💙 Wrapping Up Veterinary Technician Week! 💙🐾

As we come to the end of Veterinary Technician Week, we want to take one more moment to celebrate the incredible technicians who give so much of themselves every single day at Sugar Grove Animal Hospital. From comforting nervous patients and giving lots of cuddles, to assisting with procedures, monitoring anesthesia, answering questions, and somehow keeping everything moving behind the scenes — our technicians truly do it all! 🩺🐶🐱

And to our wonderful clients and patients: thank you for being such a special part of what we do. The wagging tails, happy purrs, goofy personalities, sweet kisses, and even the occasional “I really don't want to be here” patients 😅 are what make every day different and remind us why we love what we do.

To our technicians: thank you for your compassion, dedication, patience, hard work, and the endless love you show to every animal that walks through our doors. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙

And to all of our Sugar Grove Animal Hospital families — thank you for trusting us with the pets who mean so much to you. You and your furry family members make this job fun, meaningful, and absolutely worth it. 🐾

Happy Veterinary Technician Week to our amazing team! 🎉
We couldn't do it without you! 💙🐾

🐾💙 A Little Behind-the-Scenes Love! 💙🐾

You see your pets when they come through our doors, but there’s a whole lot of love happening behind the scenes that you don’t always get to see! 🥰

Over the years, our veterinary technicians have collected so many sweet moments with the patients we care for — cuddles, kisses, belly rubs, comfort during stressful moments, sleepy snuggles, and plenty of “I’ll just hold them for a minute” moments that turn into much longer ones. 😂❤️

Our patients may not be our own pets, but that doesn’t stop us from loving them like they are! 🐶🐱 Every patient who comes through our doors becomes a little part of our day, and caring for them is so much more than just a job.

So, as we celebrate Veterinary Technician Week, we wanted to share some of those special behind-the-scenes moments and show you just how much your pets are loved while they’re here with us. 🩺🐾

👀 Do you spot your pet in our photos?!
Give them a shoutout in the comments! Tell us their name, or tag yourself if you recognize your furry family member! ❤️

And to our amazing veterinary technicians: thank you for giving every patient the same compassion, patience, comfort, and love that you give your own pets. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙🐾

🐾 WHAT’S IN A VETERINARY TECHNICIAN’S POCKETS? 🐾
Ever wonder what a veterinary technician carries around all day? 😂

Well… apparently, a little bit of everything! 👀
✏️ Pens & Sharpies — because there is ALWAYS something to write down
🩸 Blood tubes — because you never know when a patient needs some lab work
🧴 Ointment — for those little “ouchies”
💉 A fresh needle — because safety first!
✂️ Nail trimmers & bandage scissors — somehow these make their way into our pockets, too
🦴 Random treats — because bribery is an important part of patient care 😉
🐱 And of course… a Churu — because some patients require the good stuff ❤️

And let's be honest… this isn't even everything! 😂
Being a veterinary technician means being prepared for just about anything. From blood draws and bandage changes to nail trims, medications, comforting nervous patients, and sneaking treats to the ones who need a little extra encouragement — you never know what the day will bring!

So the next time you see a technician walking around with pockets that look suspiciously full… now you know why! 😂🐾
It takes a lot to be a veterinary technician, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

🐾💙 HAPPY NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK! 💙🐾

Today kicks off National Veterinary Technician Week, and we couldn’t think of a better time to celebrate the incredible veterinary technicians who make such a difference every single day at Sugar Grove Animal Hospital! 🐶🐱

Our technicians do SO much more than many people realize. They are the ones who:

🩺 Assist with exams and help our doctors provide the best care possible
💉 Give vaccines, injections, medications, and treatments
🩸 Draw blood and run important diagnostic tests
🔬 Monitor lab work and help interpret results
💤 Place IV catheters and monitor anesthesia during surgery
🫀 Monitor patients’ heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen levels, and more
🏥 Care for hospitalized and recovering patients
🩹 Clean and bandage wounds
🦷 Assist with dental procedures
✂️ Prepare patients for surgery and help with recovery
🐾 Comfort nervous, scared, painful, and sometimes very wiggly patients
📞 Communicate with doctors and clients about patient care
🧼 Clean, sanitize, organize, stock, and prepare for the next patient
❤️ And so much more that happens behind the scenes every single day!

But perhaps one of the most important things they do is love your pets like they are their own. They celebrate the happy moments, comfort them during the scary ones, and are there for them through every step of their care.

Our technicians have held puppies and kittens for their very first vaccines, stayed beside patients while they recovered from anesthesia, comforted pets who were frightened or hurting, celebrated good test results, and supported families through some of their most difficult days. They give so much of themselves to the animals entrusted to their care.

This week, we’ll be sharing some photos we’ve collected throughout the years of our amazing technicians doing what they do best — caring for your pets! 🐾📸

And we want YOU to be part of the celebration! ❤️

Have one of our technicians made a difference for you or your pet? Maybe they helped calm your nervous pup, took extra time with your cat, made a difficult visit a little easier, or simply gave your pet an extra little bit of love.

👇 Leave a kind message, memory, or shout-out for our technicians in the comments! 👇

We’ll make sure they see all the love. 🥹💙

To our entire technician team: thank you. Thank you for your knowledge, your compassion, your patience, your hard work, your long days, your messy moments, your laughter, and for showing up every day ready to care for the animals who need you.

We are incredibly grateful for EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. YOU. ❤️🐾

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!
We appreciate you more than you know. 💙

🐾 Technician Spotlight: Brandy Ekle, CVT! 🐾

We’re so happy to have Brandy Ekle, CVT as part of the Sugar Grove Animal Hospital team! Brandy has been with us for the past 6 months and brings so much compassion and dedication to everything she does. ❤️

Brandy has always loved helping animals, and her favorite part of veterinary medicine is surgery! When she’s not caring for patients at the hospital, you can usually find her reading a good book or going for a run. 🏃‍♀️📚

Brandy is a true cat lover and is a proud cat mom to four cats of her own: Jimmy, Loki, Milo, and Berkley! 🐱🐱🐱🐱

And for a fun little fact… if Brandy weren’t working in veterinary medicine, she says she’d be a skydiver! 🪂 Talk about a change of pace!

We’re incredibly happy to have Brandy on our team and are grateful for the kindness, knowledge, and care she brings to our patients and their families every day. Please join us in giving Brandy a big Sugar Grove Animal Hospital welcome! 🐾❤️

🐾✨ MEET FINNICK! ✨🐾

Finnick stopped by Sugar Grove Animal Hospital for his annual exam and vaccines, but we have a feeling he knew exactly what he was doing when he walked through the door… 😎🐶

This handsome 4-year-old Goldendoodle showed up with his AMAZING hairdo and one seriously adorable smile! 💇‍♂️✨

We’re not sure if Finnick's hairstyle was carefully planned or if he simply woke up looking this fabulous — either way, he definitely made an impression! 😂❤️

Finnick was such a handsome guy and a great patient during his visit. We always love seeing those familiar furry faces for their yearly checkups! 🩺🐾

Give Finnick some ❤️ in the comments for that crazy hair and handsome smile! 👇🐶

🦟🐜 HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR PET'S PARASITE PREVENTION? 🐶🐱

Have you ever looked at the wall of flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives at Sugar Grove Animal Hospital and wondered, “What does all of this stuff actually do?” 👀

We carry several different options because not every preventative protects against the same parasites! Here's a quick look at some of the products we offer:

💊 SIMPARICA TRIO
One monthly chew that provides protection against heartworm disease, fleas, ticks, roundworms, and hookworms. It also prevents flea tapeworm infections by killing the fleas that transmit them.

💊 SIMPARICA
A monthly chew that kills fleas and ticks. It does not provide heartworm prevention, so pets taking Simparica need a separate heartworm preventative.

💊 SENTINEL
A monthly chew that helps prevent heartworm disease and certain intestinal worms, while also stopping flea eggs from developing. It's important to know that Sentinel works differently from flea-killing products because it primarily breaks the flea life cycle rather than killing adult fleas.

💊 HEARTGARD
A monthly chew that prevents heartworm disease and treats/controls certain roundworms and hookworms. It does not provide flea or tick protection.

💊 NEXGARD
A monthly chew that kills adult fleas and ticks and helps prevent Lyme disease by killing the black-legged ticks that transmit it.

💊 BRAVECTO
Provides long-lasting flea and tick protection, depending on the specific formulation. Some Bravecto products are given every 12 weeks, while other formulations have different schedules.

💧 SELARID (REVOLUTION)
A monthly topical that helps protect against heartworm disease and fleas, along with certain other parasites depending on the species.

🐾 SERESTO
A collar that provides extended flea and tick protection rather than being a monthly chew or topical.

✨ So why are there so many choices?

Because your pet's lifestyle, species, age, weight, parasite risks, and other health considerations can all play a role in deciding which preventative is the best fit.

And remember — heartworm disease is preventable but potentially serious, and year-round prevention is recommended. 🦟❤️

📸 Take a look at our wall of preventatives below!
How many of these products do you recognize? 👀

If you're not sure what your pet is currently protected against, give us a call at 630-466-7387 and our team would be happy to help!
