Annica

Client Care Receptionist

Growing up, Annica always had a pet by her side. Ever since she was little, Annica has dreamed about becoming a vet, and as soon as she was old enough, she started working with animals. At the age of 14 she started working at a daycare/boarding kennel, and her love of working with animals skyrocketed, she knew that working with animals was what she was meant to do. Annica has a love for animals like no other, she treats every pet that comes through the front doors as if they were her own. Working with the owners of these wonderful pets is also something Annica loves to do!

In her spare time, Annica loves to be with animals at all times, everywhere she goes she has to find an animal to love, big or small - she even took her graduation photos with her favourite cows! Annica’s favourite place to be outside of work is the dog park with her rescue dog Dani.

What's the Role of an RVT?

An RVT's (registered veterinary technician's) day does include belly rubs … but it’s also a lot more. RVTs are educated and trained professionals who practice animal health care alongside veterinarians. By performing diagnostic procedures, administering treatments and monitoring patients, the RVT allows the veterinarian to provide a higher level of care to all of our patients. The role of an RVT is often overlooked due to many of their tasks occurring “ behind the scenes.” RVTs are an integral part of a veterinary hospital. They are responsible for anesthesia during surgeries, taking and processing radiographs (x-rays), and preparing and administering medication and other treatments to hospitalized patients. But it doesn’t stop there! They’re also the voice on the phone giving you updates on how the procedure went, giving home care instructions and ensuring your pet has a restful recuperation time following their procedure at home. Our RVTs play a pivotal role at Valley Veterinary Services and are vital in our promise to provide quality pet care to all of our patients
