SAN DIEGO, October 5, 2021 / PRNewswire-PRWeb / – PetDesk, a leading veterinary retention technology company, is pleased to announce that it is honoring the entire month of October as National Veterinary Technician Month. In celebration of veterinarians across the country, PetDesk hosted a denominational storytelling contest designed to help unite the voices of such an important group of professionals who deserve additional support and recognition for their central role in pet care. PetDesk will also attend a dedicated webinar from industry experts dedicated to empowering veterinarians to reach their full potential while building their confidence and passion for the industry.

This week PetDesk will start reviewing the submitted stories and selecting the five best stories. The evaluation process will then be opened for wider community voting via PetDesk’s social media platforms. The winners will be announced during the PetDesk webinar later this month.
