Did you know?

You won't find vet techs just in clinics. Veterinary technicians can fill multiple roles outside of the clinic, too! Anywhere there are animals, there will be vet techs.

October 13-19, 2024 is National Veterinary Technician Week in Missouri.
🦒🐁🦈🦜🦎🐖🐇🐫🦢🕷🐠

This week, we will be providing some infographics about what vet techs are and what we do. To kick off NVTW, here is a BRIEF list of all of the duties a vet tech can do.

As a reminder, National Veterinary Technician Week should be reserved for celebrating veterinary technicians only, as other support staff have their own holidays and should be highlighted and celebrated individually. Please reconsider lumping everyone together for "staff appreciation week".

National Veterinary Technicians Week was started by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) in 1993 and is celebrated the third week in October.

If you have ever brought your pet to the veterinarian, you have met a vet tech. When the dr orders tests or diagnostics or needs blood drawn, chances are likely it is not the doctor performing them, but a technician.

Veterinary technicians truly are jacks of all trades and masters of all!
