IV Catheter placement is crucial to quality patient care. Whether a patient is having surgery, post-op pain management, is dehydrated, is actively seizing, or worse, arresting, the integrity of the circulatory system is paramount to the patient's response. 

This is not a task that should be performed by "trained individuals". This is a vital component of veterinary medicine that needs to be performed by educated and licensed personnel. Veterinarians allowing their staff to place IVCs for surgeries, charging their clients $65, and paying their staff $8/hour are truly ripping off their clients, as well as practicing poor-quality medicine.
