National Vet Tech Week Spotlight
This week we’re shining a light on our incredible vet tech, Erin!
Every day she goes the extra mile to ensure our patients receive the highest level of care. From assisting in procedures, administering medication, to soothing horses and their owners, Erin handles every case with expertise and compassion. Her dedication, skill and endless patience make her a true rockstar in our practice.
Thank you for all that you do – Happy National Vet Tech Week!
