Dear Greenwich Animal Hospital Friends,
Your pet deserves the finest veterinary care and it takes everyone on our team to make that happen. The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) recognized that fact and created National Veterinary Technician Week, an annual event recognizing veterinary technicians for their contributions in pet healthcare, as well as veterinarians, assistants, client service representatives, practice managers and others involved in pet care. This year National Veterinary Technician Week takes place Oct. 17 - Oct. 23.
As a member of the veterinary healthcare team, veterinary technicians/nurses are educated in the latest medical advances and skilled at working alongside veterinarians to give pets the best medical care possible. They work closely with the veterinarians, veterinary assistants, practice managers, front desk staff, and owners to provide essential care to all species of animals; pets with fur, feathers, scales or skin. |

Veterinary technicians help care for your pet by performing a wide range of vital functions such as phlebotomy, laboratory and other diagnostic work, anesthetic administration and monitoring, dental treatment, surgical assistance, radiology, client education, and, of course, patient nursing care. They may be the world's best multitaskers, flowing adeptly from one vital role to the next throughout their day.
We're always grateful for our team's contributions, but recently even more than usual. Along with changes to health and safety protocols, COVID has also resulted in widespread staffing shortages in the veterinary field, along with an increase in patient visits for a variety of reasons. Many days we're seeing more patients with less staff.
Our team has had to dig deep to find the strength and inspiration to face these challenges day after day for months, and they've done it while continuing to provide our patients with excellent care. We're very grateful for our entire staff!
