On World Health Day, we salute all veterinary nurses and veterinary technicians, including members of our WSAVA family National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA), NZVNA and The Registered Veterinary Technologists and Technicians of Canada - RVTTC. These veterinary nurses and technicians are the lynchpins of veterinary teams around the world. Their clinical skills, compassion and commitment to patient care have never been more important as we face the COVID-19 pandemic. They are amazing and we are proud to work alongside them.

Calling all veterinary professionals!

Things are changing day by day with COVID19, but one thing that doesn't change is that our patients will still be dealing with pain and discomfort. We need to help our patients stay comfortable and help our clients stay calm and understand what they can do for their pets and how we can help in some restricted capacities.

Hi Small Animal Vetrehabbers!
I know things have been really uncertain, and we are all doing the best we can to protect ourselves, our staff and our clients from the events of the day. Things are developing so quickly, that we really don't know what to expect from one day to the next.

We are doing all we can as a company to help support you guys, brainstorm with you on how you can use sudden free time constructively, and how you can be as safe as possible. If you have any ideas, concerns or just need to speak to someone who will listen, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via Facebook or email ([email protected]).

If you already have free time on your hands, why not watch one of our free webinars? We have just updated these so that those who are not members of Onlinepethealth within our Vetrehabber community will be able to spend some constructive time studying!

You can sign up for free, here:
https://onlinepethealth-info.com/free-webinars/free-sign-up-free-sma/

Good luck Vetrehabbers, do all you can to help others, stay safe, and stay positive!

It may be Friday the 13th, but it's also National K9 Veterans Day... a day to honor the service and sacrifices of American military and working dogs throughout history.

A new sculpture resides at Veterans Memorial Park in Trophy Club, Texas, inside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and pays tribute to military working dogs. We love how it shows the bravery and dedication of a military service dog to its human handler. 🐾❤️

#vetrehabtechs #aprvt #veterinarytechnicians

This is not an easy topic... but sadly as pet owners we all eventually have to face saying a final goodbye to our pets 😢

**This video contains content about euthanasia which may be upsetting for some so watch with caution...

Thank you to Mary Ellen Goldberg for talking to us about this complex and difficult topic.
We want to start by taking about anticipatory grief - the worry and fear about having to say goodbye and how do we know when the time is right....

Watch, learn and be kind. 💙
