Registered veterinary technicians serve the role in veterinary medicine that registered nurses do in human medicine.

Our technicians are graduates with associate degrees in Animal Health Technology and are registered with the State of Missouri.

Our staff of registered technicians include:

• Stacey, RVT
• Mercedes, RVT
• Erin, RVT
• Tammy, RVT
• Prudence, RVT

Veterinary Technicians are trained in such areas as pet anatomy and physiology, parasitology, anesthesia and surgical assistance, nutrition, and dentistry.

Our RVT's attend CE conferences and skill training classes on a regular basis to learn and practice nursing techniques and keep up with the latest and best care available.
