School Program Trains Next Generation Vet Assistants, Trainers, and Dog Groomers

Freshmen students at the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School had an enjoyable time as they had their introduction to veterinary science.

Two labs stood on examining tables while the students learned to check their heart rate and clip their toenails. One lab was named Revis, a 5-year-old trained therapy dog who belongs to teacher Elise McAllister. The other lab was a 6-month-old named Max, whose owner is technical supervisor Nolan D. LeRoy. 

One of the veterinary science students, Jada, learned to do an endotracheal intubation on a dog mannequin. She says that she's interested in a career that involves working with military dogs.

These veterinary science students may go to work after high school or earn degrees. Another possible career would be trainers of service and therapy dogs.
