The Keepers of the Canines play a critical role in protecting pets long before problems arise.

As RVTs, they are essential to preventative dental care, performing professional cleanings, assessing oral health, identifying disease early, and educating pet owners on proactive care.

This work helps prevent chronic pain, infection, and serious health complications before they begin. Preventative care matters, and RVTs make it possible. 🐾

On Friday, January 23, 2026, the ABVTA had the pleasure of connecting with 2nd year students and instructors from the NWP Veterinary Technology program during their annual student field trip.

Alongside our partners at the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association (ABVMA), ABVTA Executive Director Vanessa George and Michelle Welch, ABVTA Events and Member Services Administrator, met with students at the ABVMA office to provide guidance on next steps as they prepare to graduate and enter the profession. Dr. Megan Bergman, Registrar for the ABVMA, and ABVMA staff also joined the visit, welcoming students for a detailed office tour, fun trivia with prizes, and a shared lunch.

ABVTA values opportunities like this to support and engage with future RVTs and to be part of their journey toward graduation and professional practice. Thank you to the ABVMA for hosting us at your offices. We look forward to our continued collaboration as we work together to support and guide future RVTs.
