VET TECH WEEK 🌟 let’s never forget the hard work of our unlicensed nurses! Some have gone to the extra schooling or are in the process of it now, some are kind of new are have exceeded expectations for on-the-job training, and some have years of clinical experience. Many have had experience in multiple positions within the clinic (like worked at the front desk, or had roles at other jobs). These nurses deserve a special shout-out!! They made the world go ‘round! im so sorry if I’ve missed anyone!! You are all soooo important to me!!!! XOXO

VET TECH WEEK lets us remember that our nurses are often the first and last person to handle your pet. They’re their fiercest advocates, your communicator, and the metronome of the clinic. If you have time, make sure to thank your veterinary nurses! They go through a lot to get where they are: client-facing, pet-cuddling, and the medically-sound advisors they are.

VET TECH WEEK is only a week, but from the depths of my heart I hope these nurses know what they mean to me and the others they help. What a wonderful world we live in where people will dedicate their entire careers, days, nights, and off-the-clock emotional and brain space to these pets.

VET TECH WEEK continues! Did you know that not only are vet techs licensed nurses who have completed rigorous classes and exams, but some have specialty certifications? Licensed vet techs (LVTs) can work even more, publish research, pass more tests, and become a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) in a number of areas. This is a higher level of recognition for advanced knowledge and skills in a specific discipline per the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA). You may find some of our specialty nurses offering services of physical rehabilitation, like Ashleigh here.

VET TECH WEEK is a time to highlight the simple, enduring love our nurses have for their patients. Whether it’s taking X-rays, drawing blood, placing IVs, administering meds via every route imaginable [YUP!!], these nurses do it with compassion and care oozing from their eyeballs. Can you imagine having your hand held and being comforted by the same nurse expertly making sure your booboos will heal?! They’re amazing!! It’s like every single patient who comes through our door is gifted with a team of whose “only” job is to literally do all the things.

EMMAvet’s Story

EMMAvet’s team members have backgrounds in Emergency and Specialty Medicine, where they treated dogs and cats in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Dr. Jarvinen realized that many of the patients she saw in the Emergency Room did not necessarily need an ICU. The owners and pets were spending a long time waiting to see a doctor for presenting complaints like a suspected urinary tract infection, squinting eye, diarrhea, vomiting, skin lesions, ear infections, and others. In human medicine, a model already existed for people to see a doctor either outside of normal physician office hours, or when their physicians were unable to get them in right away: urgent care. Following this model, with on-site diagnostics (laboratory, x-ray, ECG, ultrasound), Dr. Jarvinen created EMMAvet – veterinary urgent care. With a team of specialty-trained veterinarians, technicians, and client service representatives, EMMAvet is able to offer gold-standard care that dogs and cats would get in the ER, but with a shorter wait time and less expense. No appointments – walk-ins only.

EMMAvet’s team is passionate about patient care. They took medicine to the next level by making everything digital and paperless. Cash-free. The doctors and technicians work with the best tools available. This means that when the doctors are looking at cytology (cells on a slide under a microscope), they can actually take a picture of it and show you exactly what they are looking at. Ultrasound can be performed in the exam room with you. Through windows behind the front desk, you can watch the technicians run blood work and urine tests. You will be a part of the process, and the EMMAvet team will make your dog or cat their priority.

If your dog or cat happens to need additional treatment, EMMAvet’s team will stabilize for transfer to a 24-hr facility.
