Vet Tech Week might be over, but our appreciation for our team definitely isn’t! 🐾🫶🏼
Most of our vet techs volunteer their time, showing up week after week with skill, compassion, and the kind of dedication that keeps our clinic running strong.
We’re so lucky to have such a dedicated, kind, and hilarious bunch keeping things running behind the scenes.
Huge thanks to BI and Coleen Tomlinson for treating the team to an amazing lunch from Mi Apa Latin Cafe! Food didn’t last long enough for photos … it was that good… 😳

Join us for our annual fundraiser where we celebrate our veterinary community with a little friendly competition and a lot of heart! Local vet teams will compete for the title of Best Vet Team in a vet-themed obstacle course, relay-race style. Join us for the day to see all the exciting action and to meet your local vets at the Vet Expo and find out the amazing services available to your pet. There will be food trucks, adoptable pets, raffles prizes and great vendors to check out during the day as well. All proceeds go to St Francis Vet Care’s mission of helping pets that otherwise would not be able to get access to veterinary care.

🎉 Exciting Update: Our First Surgery Day at the New Clinic!

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve just completed our first day of surgeries in our new space. This October, we’re rolling out affordable cat spay/neuter services and expanding to dogs soon. We’re also teaming up with FIX THEM ALL, a fantastic nonprofit helping us provide low-cost vouchers so we can serve even more pets in need.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us! 🐾
