Celebrate RRVH’s Vet Tech Rockstars!

October 12–18, 2014, is National Veterinary Technician Week – a week we pause to recognize our Vet Tech rockstars. At Rocklin Ranch Veterinary Hospital, we have a lot to celebrate. Our amazing team of vet techs is, in our humble opinion, second to none. We consider ourselves to be so lucky to have the team we have, and we owe a part of our success to them.

In many ways, vet techs are the glue that holds a successful veterinary practice together, and ours is no exception. Somehow these amazingly clever people manage a balance between delivering the veterinary industry’s best practices and giving you and your pet the care and comfort that you need. And they do it with grace, poise, and compassion. We know this is no easy task, and we truly feel that our team does an outstanding job.

Many of you may not know what, precisely, a vet tech does, and that’s likely because the answer is, “a little bit of everything”. While vet techs do not diagnose illness, prescribe medications, or perform surgeries, they do just about everything else. From greeting you and your pet, to assisting in the exam room, to running labs, to answering questions and keeping the pulse of the clinic steady, our vet techs are integral to every aspect of your pet’s veterinary care.

What is perhaps more extraordinary is the level of dedication, compassion, and love they have for what they do and the pets and people they care for. The personal investment that our vet techs have in your pet’s well-being is humbling. That’s why they are able to so much of what they do, from the beginning of your pet’s life, through to the end… the vet tech’s calling is truly a labor of love. Their hearts break a little each time they help you say goodbye to a beloved pet.

This week, and throughout the year, we hope that you’ll take the time to appreciate a job well-done by our vet techs, and indeed any that work in the field. The commitment they show to your pets and the animal community is worth celebrating.

Tammy, Tena, Harmonie, Meradith, Crystle, Becky, and Clarisa thank-you – we couldn’t do it without you.
