RVT Care
RVTs: What They Mean for Your Pet’s Care
Registered Veterinary Technologists, or RVTs, are licensed animal health professionals who work alongside veterinarians to care for your pet. They complete formal college training, pass provincial and national exams, and continue learning throughout their careers.
At our clinic, RVTs are an important part of every patient’s care. While your veterinarian focuses on diagnosis and treatment, RVTs are often right at your pet’s side, monitoring, adjusting, and responding throughout procedures and recovery. Their role helps ensure care is not only effective, but also safe and comfortable.
How RVTs Support Your Pet
RVTs are involved in many parts of your pet’s visit, including:
- Patient advocacy, watching for subtle signs your pet can’t tell us about
- Anesthesia monitoring to track vital signs and keep your pet stable and safe
- Pain management before, during, and after procedures
- Dental care, including professional cleanings and dental X-rays
- Laboratory testing for fast, accurate results
- Surgical assistance and real-time response to changes
What This Means for Cost and Care
Clinics that employ RVTs invest in training, staffing, and monitoring equipment designed to keep patients safe and comfortable. This can sometimes affect pricing, but it also means more focused attention, earlier recognition of potential issues, better pain control, and smoother recoveries.
Some clinics operate without RVTs, which may lower costs. Our approach is to prioritize attentive, well-supported care, especially during anesthesia and medical procedures, where having trained professionals closely monitoring your pet makes a real difference.
A Team Approach to Care
Veterinary medicine works best as a team. Veterinarians and RVTs work closely together so every patient benefits from both medical decision-making and continuous hands-on care.
Because your pet isn’t just here for a procedure. They’re here to be cared for by people who are watching closely, every step of the way.
