Veterinary technicians are critical to the day-to-day function of veterinary practices, and play vital roles in preserving animal health and welfare. National Veterinary Technician Week provides an opportunity to recognize veterinary technicians’ contributions.
We value our veterinary technicians every day of the year and we thank them for all they do. During National Veterinary Technician Week, we honor their commitment to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care for all animals.
Please join us in celebrating these important team members.

From the management of Lake Dogs and Cats Veterinary Hospital, we want to wish a happy Veterinary Technicians week to ours!

Thank you for all you do!,
Dr. Mark Lucas

Three veterinarians and one technician committed su***de this week. Each week varies, but we are losing good people- real people.

Make sure you are good to your vet,

Don’t ask them vet questions unless you are in the clinic during hours, their time off is precious.

Don’t accuse them of being without compassion because you can’t pay the bill for the pet you own,

Don’t jokingly ask for a “wing” in the hospital for the money you have spent, understand that veterinarians are graduating with $300,000- half a million in debt to make $70,000/ year and be told they are rich.

Don’t participate in the good old fashion lynching on social media if you hear about a vet who made a mistake, you likely only know one side of the story, and vets are human and make mistakes- they are probably harder on themselves then you could ever be.

Don’t tell a vet you were gonna be a vet but you decided you couldn’t handle the euthanasia’s- neither can they, and you make them feel heartless.

Don’t believe that your vet is your “friend” because you know their cell number or they will give you advice after hours- respect that veterinarians are often too good and kind to tell you the truth- they only want to make sure your pet is okay, even at the expense of their own privacy and time. If you haven’t been to dinner at their house- you aren’t friends. Respect them as a professional and call the office or the ER.

Remember that the vet seeing your puppy cried with the owner of the appointment he saw 2.4 minutes ago as he euthanized their best friend and a grown man cried in his arms or a woman fell to her knees screaming. He may have had to explain death to the 4 year old while she cried for her kitten, or euthanized 8 pets that day and felt their pain.

Vets are killing themselves because they are empaths with a perfectionist personality in many cases, trying to get through an impossible profession with all of these factors and more- and loving animals to their core too much is not the reason.

What can you do- write your vet a thank you letter, send them food, tell them you care about them or they are special to you or they matter-or just plain BE KIND.

Be part of the solution not part of the problem.
