Happy pets and owners

"When we remove cataracts from a dog and restore their vision, the stories from their families are amazing. The dogs play with their toys again, recognize their owners, are happier and more lively. Their quality of life improves so dramatically you can see the difference at each follow up appointment. "

– Ophthalmology Technician

PVSEC Oncology Rewards

"Many people say that they couldn't work for the Oncology Department because it's too sad. And, yes, it's always sad to lose a patient. However, each day I am dragged down the hall by a three-legged dog, attacked with kisses from a pit-bull with mast cell tumors, offered a belly to rub from a retriever that could barely move the week before, hear meows from a kitty, who previously did not eat, excitedly begging for food and am given "thank you's" from clients who thought their pets would never be happy or 'normal' again. These are the reasons why I love what I do, and why I wouldn't want to change it for anything else. "

– PVSEC Oncology Technician

Learning is valued at PVSEC!

"I love all of the learning opportunities offered. From the doctors that take time during a shift to explain things to the CE offered monthly. "

– Vetereinary Technician

Emergency

Listening with my ears, and my heart...

"The number one thing that makes it worth coming into work and being a CSR...I was told I listen with not only my ears, but with my heart. I have been told by a PVSEC Internal Medicine technician that she would want to speak to me if she called...I know how to make people feel better. "
