Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! 🎉

This week, October 18–24, we proudly celebrate the incredible veterinary technicians whose expertise, compassion, and dedication make a lasting difference in animal health care every day!

This year’s theme, recognized by NAVTA, “Credentialed Veterinary Technicians: Endless Compassion, Expert Care; Celebrating the Soul of Veterinary Medicine,” highlights the essential role credentialed veterinary technicians play in providing exceptional patient care, supporting clients, and strengthening the veterinary healthcare team.

Veterinary technicians are so much more than support staff—they are anesthetists, radiographers, dental hygienists, surgical assistants, lab technicians, client educators, and above all, dedicated advocates for animal health and welfare.

To all the amazing veterinary technicians who make a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them—THANK YOU for all that you do! ❤️🐾
