Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! 🐾❤

Veterinary technicians are essential members of the veterinary healthcare team, working alongside veterinarians to assist in medical procedures, educate pet owners, and contribute to the overall well being of animals.

Honor your techs this week, from October 13th-19th, and celebrate the expertise and compassion they bring to the practice every day!

📚🐾 VMCVM Mentor Day Success! 🎉👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

What an incredible turnout for our Mentor Day activities! After a morning of successful one-on-one meetings, our DVM students and veterinary mentors packed the room for an engaging Q&A session. The energy and enthusiasm were truly inspiring!

A huge thank you to all the mentors who've taken time out of their busy schedules to support our future veterinarians. Your guidance and experience are invaluable!

It's national ! Don't forget to remind clients on why microchipping their pets is important and keeping microchip contact information up-to-date! 🐾🩵

On , we're sharing a few important reminders on the importance of microchips - such as:

➡ 1 in 3 family pets will get lost
➡ Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners and microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners

And remember - while microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.

Visit avma.org/CheckTheChip to learn more.
