New annual awards program recognizes outstanding veterinary technicians for their impact in the field of veterinary medicine
September 2, 2025 – Pensacola, FL – Pegasus Laboratories/PRN® Pharmacal, a company focused on developing innovative products to treat chronic conditions in cats, dogs, and horses, is launching an awards program that celebrates the dedication, compassion, and clinical expertise of veterinary technicians.
Vet techs play a vital and often underrecognized role in the health and well-being of animals, as well as in the efficient operation of clinics. They bring a diverse set of skills and understanding to every aspect of their work, providing essential nursing care and technical support to their patients. Bridging the gap between veterinarians and pet owners, vet techs help communicate care plans and support emotional connections during challenging times. Their contributions are an integral part of the veterinary industry.
PRN Pharmacal launched this program to celebrate and honor the vet techs who exemplify “PRN” – Professionalism, Resourcefulness, and Necessity – in their work. This award will focus on credentialed veterinary technicians in the animal healthcare industry within veterinary hospitals, shelters, and clinics and provide financial support that can be used toward continuing education, certification, conference attendance, or other growth opportunities.
“At PRN Pharmacal, we are proud to launch this awards program to honor the work vet techs do every day,” said Keith McGriskin, Vice President of Marketing at Pegasus Laboratories. “Vet techs are the unsung heroes of the veterinary world, providing expert care that keeps clinics running and pets healthy. Through this program, we want to highlight their dedication and bring awareness to the role they play in the lives of animals, pet owners, and the entire veterinary community.”
Credentialed vet techs can be nominated by peers, supervisors, or themselves by completing the online nomination form. One winner will be recognized with a $500 Visa gift card at eight major veterinary trade shows throughout 2026. Attendance at the show is not required to win, but selected winners will be contacted to confirm attendance if they wish to receive their award in person.
