October 13-19, 2019 is National Veterinary Technician Week
First celebrated in 1993, National Veterinary Technician Week takes place in the third week of October each year, as proclaimed by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA).
As a member of the veterinary healthcare team, veterinary nurses/technicians 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, and owners to provide essential care to all species of animals; pets with fur, feathers, scales or skin.
This annual event recognizes veterinary nurses/technicians for their contributions in pet healthcare, as well as veterinarians, assistants, practice managers and others involved in pet care.
At GVL, we often work closely with veterinary technicians who assist with digital health certificates, EIA tests, Extended Equine CVIs, VFDs and other animal health documentation.
Our team sees how involved and knowledgeable veterinary technicians are in customer support, data and account management, and general animal health information, often going above and beyond for their clients.
To all veterinary technicians, assistants and staff members who are experts in their field, and are so obviously passionate about quality animal care, we thank you for your unending commitment to the animal health industry.
