Celebrate Vet Techs This Veterinary Technician Week with GerVetUSA
Vet Tech Week 2026, officially called National Veterinary Technician Week, runs from Sunday, October 18 through Saturday, October 24, 2026. The National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) holds it every third week of October to recognize credentialed veterinary technicians and the care they give patients, clients, and practice teams. GerVetUSA is marking the week with two limited-time Vet Tech Week bundles, each with three instruments and a free pouch.
What Is Vet Tech Week?
National Veterinary Technician Week started in 1993, when NAVTA named the third week of October as a national observance for the profession. Veterinary technicians prep and monitor surgical patients, run lab work, give medications, and guide recovery, which keeps clinics moving every day. The 2026 theme is "Credentialed Veterinary Technicians: Endless Compassion, Expert Care; Celebrating the Soul of Veterinary Medicine." Clinics, schools, and animal health companies use the week to thank their technicians and show pet owners what the role involves.
Vet Tech Week 2026 Dates at a Glance
| Observance | Date |
|---|---|
| National Veterinary Technician Week 2026 | October 18-24, 2026 |
| International Veterinary Nurse and Technician Day | Friday, October 9, 2026 |
| GerVetUSA Vet Tech Week Special | October 18-24, 2026 |
| Vet Tech Week 2027 | October 17-23, 2027 |
GerVetUSA Vet Tech Week 2026 Bundles
Both bundles focus on the instruments technicians reach for most: bandage scissors, stitch scissors, and hemostatic forceps. Pick one instrument from each group, and we add a free pouch to keep them organized on the floor. The offer runs through Vet Tech Week while supplies last.
Why These Instruments Fit a Vet Tech's Day
Bandage scissors handle wrap and dressing changes without catching the skin underneath. Stitch scissors are built for suture removal at recheck appointments, and hemostatic forceps are a constant during surgical assists and treatment room work. Browse the full range of Lister bandage scissors, suture removal scissors, and hemostatic forceps if your team needs more than one set.
Ways to Celebrate Vet Tech Week at Your Clinic
- Give each technician their own instrument set and pouch
- Share a thank-you post featuring your tech team on social media
- Host a team lunch or schedule protected break time during the week
- Recognize International Veterinary Nurse and Technician Day on October 9
