Congratulations to Jen Morris, CVT from PetMedic Urgent Care Vet Clinic - Warwick on her epic win of the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Association's 2024 Veterinary Technician of the Year award!

On behalf of PetMedic Urgent Care Vet Clinic - Warwick we are excited to congratulate Jen Morris, CVT on receiving the 2024 Rhode Island Veterinary Technician's Association's Veterinary Technician of the Year award!!

"The Rhode Island Veterinary Technician Association is proud to announce the 2024 Veterinary Technician of the Year is our very own Jen Morris, CVT! Jen received more than twice the number of nominations any Tech of the Year candidate has ever received. Jen's lifelong love for animals began in her family’s veterinary practice, Morris Mobile Animal Clinic in Fall River, MA, where she worked alongside her father, Dr. Kenneth Morris, DVM.

After graduating from Durfee High School as a National Honor Society member and one of the top 10 students in her class, Jen experienced the sudden loss of her father. This tragedy fueled her commitment to raising awareness about the mental health crisis affecting the veterinary community. To deepen her understanding, she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bridgewater State College.

Initially, Jen worked as a social worker, but she soon realized she was most fulfilled when working directly with animals. She then decided to pursue a career as a veterinary technician, joining a general veterinary practice in Massachusetts while studying Veterinary Technology at NEIT. She became a Certified Veterinary Technician in 2014 after passing the VTNE.

With years of experience in general practice across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Jen recently transitioned to urgent care and now works at PetMedic Urgent Care in Warwick, RI. She is dedicated to expanding her knowledge in the dynamic field of veterinary medicine. Jen is passionate about the human-animal bond and uses her experience to support pets and the people who love them.

Way to go, Jen! Thank you for always striving to better our profession and being an inspiration to all of us. You're amazing!"

If your cat is open to affection (we all know that some are not 😐), then happy Hug Your Cat Day! Time to shower your whiskered buddy with lots of cuddles—if they’re in the mood, that is. For those who would rather have a high-five or a respectful nod from afar, that's fine, too. Post a photo of your cat enjoying (or tolerating) today's hug!

Congratulations to Rolly, our June Employpet of the Month! Rolly is an adorable 10-month-old long-haired mini dachshund belonging to Kimmy, the practice manager at Winter Hill Veterinary Clinic. Rolly accompanies Kimmy to work most days and is guaranteed to spread smiles and joy to everyone he meets. This little guy loves a good weigh-in, hoping it leads to treats! He's aced all his exams and vaccines, earning him the "goodest boy" title and a perfect score on the cuddler and face kisser scales.

It's World No To***co Day. We all know that smoking is bad for humans. But did you know that pets are more exposed to chemicals from smoking than we might realize? If you've seen how smoke stains furniture and walls in a smoker's home, imagine the residue on pets' fur or feathers. This "smoker's residue" is full of harmful chemicals. Pets in smoking households not only breathe in the smoke but also ingest these toxins while grooming themselves. Keeping this in mind can help us make healthier choices for our furry and feathered friends.

Introducing Donna, an LVT and the practice manager at Animal Emergency Clinic of the Hudson Valley. Donna has been working in veterinary medicine for about 24 years. Drawn to animals because of their innocence and her desire to help them, she has dedicated her career to their care.

Donna leads her team with a positive approach, inspiring those around her and staying committed to the hospital’s mission. She loves working with her team and feels rewarded when they make positive changes together that directly improve the care they provide for the animals. When she’s not working, Donna enjoys exercising, hiking, and gardening. She has a passion for horror movies, Halloween decorating, and prop building. She shares her home with a rescue dog named Phantom, a Schipperke named Elvira, and, soon, a black German Shepherd.

Donna’s commitment and leadership make her an invaluable member of the team. Thank you, Donna, for all that you do!
