Honoring Our Jones Veterinary Clinic Vet Techs: National Veterinary Technician Week 2024

From October 13-19, 2024, we’re celebrating National Veterinary Technician Week, and here at Jones Veterinary Clinic, that means honoring some of the hardest-working members of our team. We’re incredibly fortunate to have an extraordinary group of veterinary technicians, and this week we’re shining a spotlight on their dedication, compassion, and skill.

At Jones Veterinary Clinic, our veterinary technicians are the heartbeat of our practice. They do so much more than assist in exams—they’re the first comforting face your pet sees, the calming presence during stressful moments, and the ones who ensure that every visit is as smooth as possible. Whether they’re soothing an anxious puppy, carefully handling a senior cat, or standing by during surgery to monitor vitals, they make every effort to see that each pet feels secure and cared for. They’re there for our patients and our pet parents, from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.

Compassionate Caregivers: Our Vet Techs Go Above and Beyond

When you bring your pet to Jones Veterinary Clinic, you’re entrusting them to a team of people who truly care. Our veterinary technicians are an essential part of this team, constantly working to make each visit as positive and comfortable as possible. They’re often the unsung heroes of the clinic, meeting patients with gentle hands, a compassionate touch, and the patience to reassure pets who may feel nervous or fearful.

Every day, our techs put their hearts into the care they provide, working tirelessly to ensure every animal gets the love and attention they deserve. They know that every pet is special to their family and go out of their way to treat each one as if they were their own. Their kindness and dedication turn routine check-ups, treatments, and even difficult visits into experiences that prioritize the wellbeing of both pet and owner.

Skilled Experts in Every Area of Pet Health

While it may look like they’re simply assisting during an exam, the reality is that our technicians are well-trained professionals with expertise in many areas of veterinary care. At Jones Veterinary Clinic, our technicians bring a deep well of knowledge to every visit. They’re skilled in surgical monitoring, animal nutrition, diagnostic testing, and so much more. They spend time honing these skills so they’re fully prepared to meet the needs of each patient who comes to us for help.

Veterinary medicine is constantly advancing, and our technicians are committed to keeping up with the latest techniques and knowledge. They complete ongoing education to bring the very best in pet care, ensuring they’re ready for everything from routine visits to critical emergencies. Their commitment to excellence is clear in everything they do, and we’re grateful every day for their dedication to their craft.

Educators for Pet Parents

Our technicians know that care doesn’t end when a pet leaves the clinic. They’re there to guide pet parents through their pet’s health journey, offering advice and support that extends beyond the exam room. They’re the ones explaining treatment plans, demonstrating post-surgical care, and helping pet parents understand everything from diet choices to medication routines. They know how to break down complicated medical terms into easy, understandable information, making it manageable for you to care for your pet at home.

At Jones Veterinary Clinic, we rely on our technicians to be patient, thorough, and compassionate educators. They want you to feel confident and informed about your pet’s health, and they go above and beyond to make sure every pet parent leaves with all their questions answered.
