Happy National Vet Tech Appreciation Week!

Animals can be a little woozy after waking up from their post-surgery naps!
Thankfully, our vet techs are always right there to comfort them when they wake up.

Here at the SPCA of Texas, we have our very own team of superheroes! Better known as our veterinary technicians, these amazing individuals work alongside our veterinarians every day to keep both shelter pets and clinic patients comfortable and healthy!

This awesome team cares for hundreds of animals on any given day and keeps a careful eye on any observable changes that may give an insight into their health. They assist our veterinarians during surgeries, give them their medicine, administer vaccines, draw blood, take x-rays, and on and on and on! No two days are the same in the life of a vet tech; the nature of the job is that they face a new challenge every day. That’s what makes our vet techs so special – here at the SPCA of Texas, our veterinary team encounters a wide variety of medical problems that need to be treated. 

Inserting a catheter is just one of the many tasks
a vet tech might do on a daily basis
Simply put, our organization wouldn’t be able to care for so many animals without our veterinary technicians. We are grateful for their ability to remain cool under pressure and to approach every new case as an opportunity to learn. More importantly, their dedication and love for animals is what makes them incredible assets to our organization. 

If you’re interested in becoming a vet tech, stay tuned! As a part of National Vet Tech Appreciation Week, we are going to be showcasing the position and some incredible stories from around the shelter.
