For vet tech appreciation week, I have just published a web story on all the important jobs vet techs (also known as vet nurses in some countries like the U.K. and Austraila) do.
Sometimes, pet owners remember to thank the vet when their pet gets better from an illness or injury, but they forget about the many vet techs and nurses behind the scenes who worked around the clock to nurse the pet till it was well enough to go home.
What is a web story?
A web story is Google’s version of Facebook and Instagram stories. But unlike the stories on social media, web stories are still available on the web after 24 hours, so they’re better for sharing.
Please view and share this web story with your fellow pet parents and remember to say thank you to the vet techs next time you visit the vet. And check out my other visual stores on the veterinarian mental health crisis.
