Happy RVT Month!�

This October, we're celebrating the unsung heroes of the veterinary world - Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs)! 🙌👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ These dedicated professionals play a crucial role in the health and well-being of our furry friends.

🩺 Behind the Scenes Heroes: RVTs are essential to our veterinary practice, assisting veterinarians in surgeries, dental cleanings, and medical procedures. They're a huge reason your pets receive top-notch care, even when you can't be there.

🐶🐱 RVTs don't just treat physical ailments; they also provide comfort and emotional support to both pets and owners. Their empathy and kindness makes all the difference.

📚 To become RVTs, these professionals undergo rigorous schooling, training and must continually update their knowledge to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine. They're the experts you can trust with your pet's health.

🌟 Let's celebrate the dedication and passion of Canada's RVTs this month and every month!

Join us in recognizing the incredible impact they have on our furry family members.
