Happy National Veterinary Technician Week 2024!! 🐾🩺💊💉🔬

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. First celebrated in 1993, it takes place in the third week of October each year.

We value veterinary technicians every day of the year and 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.

Throughout the week, we will highlight some of our staff members! Help us in celebrating each of them! ❤️

Around 8pm last night these sweet babies were left in this black bag and put in the ditch in front of our clinic by this person. The temperature got so cold last night the kittens are lucky to be alive. Thankfully someone noticed the bag in the ditch this morning or these kittens could of been in a very dangerous situation. We also noticed on our cameras that an adult cat was tossed out and ran toward the highway, we think it may be the mother cat :( We are asking please don't dump animals off like this. It is not only dangerous for the animals but we do not have a facility that is able to house them.We are a very small clinic. There are resources out there to help assist with low cost spays and neuters like snip wv and county vouchers. There are also food pantries at some humane societies that can assist with food for pets in need. If anyone needs information on these programs please let us know. We are happy to help!
