In this episode of Endless Journeys: The Vet Tech Odyssey, we sit down with Ellyse, founder of Felix and Fido, to explore her journey from registered veterinary technician to in-home care business owner. She shares the challenges and rewards of building a mobile veterinary service, the importance of licensed technicians in delivering quality patient care, and the need for greater recognition, fair compensation, and sustainable work environments in the profession. This conversation highlights collaboration, boundaries to prevent burnout, and what’s possible when RVTs step into leadership beyond the clinic walls.
