🐾 **A Huge Thank You to Lindsay!** 🐾

This week (and every week), we want to give a heartfelt shoutout to our amazing Licensed Veterinary Technician student, **Lindsay**! 💙🐶🐱

Her dedication, compassion, and expertise are the heart of our practice. From assisting in surgeries to comforting nervous pets (and owners!), Lindsay goes above and beyond every single day. LVTs are the quiet heroes behind every tail wag and purr of relief.

Whether it's staying late to monitor a recovery or patiently answering a worried pet parent's questions, she brings both skill and kindness to every moment. We’re incredibly lucky to have her as part of our team!

👏 Please join us in thanking Lindsay for all that she does — we truly couldn’t do it without her!
