The Heart of Pet Wellness.

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 -- Companion animals are more than just furry creatures on four legs; they are part of our American families. We give them attention, protection and love. Yet what many Americans don’t give them is the security of seeking veterinary care that includes treatment by a credentialed veterinary technician.


The range of medical treatment available for animals has increased exponentially in the past several decades. The public needs to make sure the veterinary clinic they choose hires credentialed veterinary technicians, ensuring the person treating their animal is educated in the latest medical advances and working alongside veterinarians to give pets the best medical care possible.

The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America, Inc. (NAVTA) will celebrate October 12-18, 2008 by recognizing National Veterinary Technician Week. “Vet Tech Week provides an opportunity to honor the veterinary technician for the outstanding job they do. It also provides NAVTA with an opportunity to educate companion animal owners about the benefits of working with a veterinarian that employs credentialed veterinary technicians, which is equally important,” stated Andrea Ball, executive director of NAVTA.
