We aim to have high clinical standards and expect our vets to offer a high-level service to our patients and clients each day. We also pride ourselves on being a supportive team, so all of the vets are responsible for supporting our recent graduate vets to a level that they are comfortable, and our RVNs and SVNs with their training. We encourage our RVNs to perform schedule 3 procedures under VS guidance.
