I’m a little late posting this ones…but for those who don’t that I also work as a vet tech — this is a special post to celebrate 🩺National Vet Tech Week 💉
I’m so grateful for being the kid who loved animals more than anything else. I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian since I was 6 years old and often found myself “dog training” my beagle or playing “vet” my cousin with her chihuahuas 😂
Later on I made the decision to forgo becoming a vet, but a vet tech instead. I love what the job brought me.
It brought me some of my best friends, my pets, and my confidence that I do poorly lacked in my early 20s. It brought me to building a photography business where we can bond over our fur babies, because I understand that you couldn’t imagine a wedding day without them.
Thank you to all the amazing technicians I’ve worked with over the years. You truly make or break a pet’s vet experience 🖤
I absolutely treasure being an advocate for your pet that can’t speak. I love holding their paws as they wake up for anesthesia. I adore swooning over the old and scruffy pets as much as the kitten and puppies (I actually love the old ones more - sorry 🤷🏼♀️) and I always feel honored that I get to be a comfort to the ones passing the rainbow bridge 🌈
I know bringing your pets to the vet can be extremely scaring and a trusting experience. We vet techs love your babies more than you’ll ever know. Some of them we still fondly talk about for years.
So, reach out to your pet’s Vet Techs this week and show them some appreciation for the emotional damage, traumatic experiences, worked-through lunches, and late night stays after hours so your pet can be taken care of ✨
