Your pet deserves the best in pet care and it takes everyone on the veterinary health care team to make that happen. The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) recognized that fact and created National Veterinary Technician Week (NAVTW). As a member of the veterinary healthcare team, Veterinary Technicians are educated in the latest medical advances and skilled at working alongside veterinarians to give pets the best medical care possible.  They work closely with the veterinarians, practice managers, and owners to provide essential care to all species of animals. 

NAVTA has proclaimed October 16-22, 2016 to be National Veterinary Technician Week.  This annual event recognizes veterinary technicians for their contributions in pet healthacare, as well as veterinarians, practice managers and others involved in pet care.  This year, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a company dedicated to helping pets reach their full potential through quality nutrition and healthcare, is sponsoring the week-long celebration.
