Shining a Spotlight on Our Veterinary Technicians: The Heartbeat of Our Practice
From October 13-19, 2024, we join veterinary clinics nationwide in celebrating National Veterinary Technician Week! These incredible individuals are the backbone of our clinic, working tirelessly to ensure every pet receives the care they need. If you’ve ever wondered just how our vet techs make a difference in the life of your pet, we’re here to shed some light on their remarkable work.
Subtle Signs of Pain in Pets
As a veterinary team, one of the most important conversations we have with pet parents is about pain. Unlike us, our pets can’t simply tell us when something hurts. They often mask their discomfort, making it difficult to recognize the early signs of pain. Whether your pet is growing older or experiencing an acute injury, understanding the subtle indicators of pain is one of the best things you can do as a pet owner to facilitate your pet’s overall wellbeing.
Why Your Cat Needs to See the Vet
When was the last time your cat visited the vet? Cats are known for their independent and often aloof nature, which can sometimes lead to the misconception that they don’t require regular veterinary care. However, just like dogs, cats need routine checkups to ensure they live long, healthy lives.
