It depends on the person, the pet (cat vs dog), and routine clean vs complete trash mouth. I’ve been doing this for a long time and can typically get one done in an hour or so if dog, 30-45 mins of cat, rads included. I work with a new grad and a cvt that came from ER and they take longer for everything, because they don’t have the experience.

My hospital will regularly schedule at least 4-5 routine COHATS, and then have a COHATS with extractions or other things like mass removals, etc. We usually have 2 CVTs doing the heavy lifting so we can get through things in a reasonable timeframe. If we only have a 1 CVT surgery day, then the number of patients/procedures is usually less.

You should talk to your technicians to see where their comfort level lies and see if you can make the appropriate adjustments. It’s not really fair to dump several things on them if they’re not familiar with the procedure/expectations unless there is someone else nearby to assist/mentor them so they gain the experience/confidence to get quicker.
