🐾 Celebrate Veterinary Technician Week - October 15th-21st! 🐾
This special week is dedicated to honoring the hardworking and compassionate professionals who play a vital role in the well-being of our beloved pets and animals. Our veterinary technicians go above and beyond for our patients and we could not be more thankful. This year we treated our vet techs to customized Stanley cups, lunch, and other goodies.

Veterinary technicians, often referred to as vet techs, are the unsung heroes of the veterinary world. They are the skilled individuals who provide critical support to veterinarians in treating illnesses, assisting in surgeries, and ensuring the overall health and comfort of animals in their care.

Let's all come together to say THANK YOU and give vet techs the appreciation they truly deserve. 🐾❤️

If your dog does eat something potentially poisonous, bring them into us immediately. Another great resource to have on hand is the ASPCA Poison Control phone number: (888) 426-4435
