Celebrating Veterinary Technician Week 2025

The Heart of Veterinary Technician Week 2025

During Veterinary Technician Week 2025, we celebrate the individuals who keep our specialty and emergency hospital running day and night. Above all, their commitment ensures that pets receive exceptional medical care, even during life’s most difficult moments. In addition, their teamwork strengthens our ability to deliver trusted specialty services across many disciplines.

Technicians work in all our service lines and in nearly every facet of our patient care. As a result, they play a vital role in every step of treatment. Moreover, they serve as advocates for patients who cannot speak for themselves.

A Week of Appreciation

Because CARE operates 24 hours a day, our veterinary technicians are always present when pets need them most. This week gives us the chance to thank them publicly. Additionally, it reminds us to express daily appreciation for their dedication to animals and families.

Throughout the week, CARE will highlight the stories of several of our many talented veterinary technicians. Furthermore, our veterinarians will share heartfelt video messages of gratitude. These stories and reflections shine a light on the difference our technicians make every day.

What Is an “Indy Tech”?

CARE’s Indy techs are veterinary technicians who do more than medicine—they lead, teach, organize, and connect all the service lines. They are crucial for both patient care and hospital operations.

At CARE, we are grateful every day for our veterinary technicians. Their expertise, compassion and dedication inspire us all. Please join us in celebrating Veterinary Technician Week 2025 and recognizing the difference these professionals make in the lives of pets and families.
