Love your Veterinary Technician

How important are Veterinary Technicians in a Veterinary Office?

Veterinary Technicians are the Veterinarian’s right hand from greeting the pet at an appointment, taking history, and relaying information to the Doctor.  The Doctor will enter the exam room with his Technician at his side.  Then who holds the pet?  Right it is the Technician.  Who prepares the vaccines?  It’s the Technician.  Who is with your pet from the beginning of pre-op surgery to surgery and monitoring the anesthesia and after care for the safety of your pet?   It is the Technician with the Doctor by their side.  Oh and it takes two to hold a pet for a blood draw which could be two technicians or one technician and the doctor.

Veterinary Technicians are equivalent to a physician’s assistant at your doctor’s office.  Veterinary Technicians assist the Veterinarian in all aspects of treating pets.  The work and skill involved for caring for pets is hard work but very rewarding.  A Technician loves animals and wishes to see the best outcome for all pet companions. 

Veterinary Technicians are an essential part of the overall function of a facility, the doctor, and any needs your pet may have.  So love your Veterinary Technician they will help your pet through any situation that may arise.
