Certified Veterinary Technicians (Veterinary Nurses)
What is a veterinary technician? In New Hampshire, anyone can be called a veterinary technician or "vet tech." SNVH requires that OUR nurses caring for your pets are credentialed veterinary technicians, which means they hold a college degree and have passed a national exam. Learn more about veterinary technicians at NAVTA.net.
