I do not support the legislature that allows unlicensed vet assistants to place intravenous catheters in my animals. It is not only potentially unsafe, but an insult to those who have spent an exorbitant amount of time and money on their education which allows them to safely treat animals. This job is best left to our licensed vet techs and veterinarians. Our animals deserve a nationwide standard of training that ensures their safety and health of our pets, as well as the reputation of the veterinary community.
