Hey Halloween is fast approaching!! Today being National trick or Treat day, we're reminding everyone that this and the next few holidays are when an uptick in sick pets happens. Most Halloween candy is not safe for cats and dogs. When pets eat Halloween candy, they can experience digestive problems from the high levels of sugar or more severe poisoning from ingredients that are toxic to dogs and cats. Please be sure to keep candy out of any places a pet can reach!

National Veterinary Technician Week honors the professionals across the U.S. who provide outstanding services. The observance takes place the third week in October each year. It also aims to educate and raise awareness about what vet techs do.


Like the job title says, the vet tech is responsible for many of the technical responsibilities around a veterinary office. Some of those duties include drawing blood, getting samples, dispensing medication, prepping the animal for and assisting during surgery. They also manage care after surgery until the animal is ready to go home.
