As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, the entire team at Veterinary Emergency Center wants to give the BIGGEST possible shout-out and thank you to our phenomenal Vet Techs!

This week, we tried to show our gratitude by showering you with a few tokens of appreciation: delicious food from Pita Way (sponsored by our amazing partners at IDEXX), a celebratory Taco Bar, treats from Dunkin! We hope you felt the love with every gift, meal, and sweet treat.

You are the backbone of emergency medicine. Your expertise, compassion, quick thinking, and dedication keep our patients safe and our clinic running. Quite simply, we could not do this life-saving work without you.

While we dedicate this week to celebrating you, our deepest hope is that you feel appreciated, respected, and valuable every single day of the year. Thank you for your late nights, your early mornings, your countless hours of care, and for being the absolute best in the business.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You are truly heroes!

We are starting today with a huge shout-out to Aaron, a crucial member of our emergency team!

Aaron joined us earlier this year and has quickly become indispensable, stepping into the role of our Lead Tech. His passion for veterinary medicine is infectious, and he drives our entire team to excel.

We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the amazing Alex!

While Alex was too humble to send us a photo of herself, I did steal this adorable picture of her sweet pup, Petunia (who clearly knows she's a star!). Much like Petunia, Alex has a huge heart and is truly a gift to our team and the pets we serve.

Alex brings invaluable experience to our clinic, especially with her background in shelter medicine. This expertise makes her a true MVP when it comes to difficult cases, approaching every challenge with a calm demeanor, vast knowledge, and unwavering compassion. She's the one you want by your side when things get tough!

Beyond her professional prowess, Alex is a true angel, often opening her home and heart to foster bottle baby kittens. Her dedication to these fragile little lives is a testament to her incredible empathy and commitment to animal welfare.

Thank you, Alex, for your boundless compassion, your incredible skills, and for everything you do for our patients, especially the tricky ones and the tiniest of kittens! We are so lucky to have you.

Today we're celebrating the amazing Audri!

If this photo is any indication, Audri's priorities are crystal clear: patient care... and her adorable dog! 😂 We couldn't ask for a better person to be a tireless advocate for every patient, ensuring their comfort and best interests are always met.

But what truly makes Audri shine?

The Spicy Cat Whisperer: Got a feisty feline? Audri's got this! She has a remarkable way of handling even the "spiciest" cats, ensuring they get the care they need with as little stress as possible.

The Clinic Comedian: She has a fantastic sense of humor that makes even the toughest days feel lighter. Whether it's a perfectly timed joke or a silly moment, she helps the whole team laugh and makes the workday fly by!

Thank you, Audri, for being a phenomenal tech and for bringing both your sharp focus and your wonderful wit to the VEC team! (Tell your dog they're famous now, too!)

Whether she's setting up a cozy recovery space or making sure a nervous patient gets an extra gentle touch, Kelli's compassion is always on full display.

Her dedication ensures our patients not only receive life-saving care but also feel safe, comfortable, and loved during a stressful time. Thank you, Kelli, for your amazing work and for being such an essential part of the care team!
