🐾 𝙍 𝙐 𝙊𝙆? 𝘿𝙖𝙮 – 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙄𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨 & 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 🐾
Today is R U OK? Day, a powerful reminder to check in with those around us - especially in the veterinary industry.
Veterinary professionals face immense emotional pressure, compassion fatigue, and burnout. It’s no secret: our industry has one of the highest su***de rates in Australia. 💔
So today, and every day, we ask:
👉 𝙍 𝙐 𝙊𝙆?
Not as a formality, but as a genuine invitation to talk, to connect, and to support.
💬 Whether you're a vet, nurse, receptionist, or a pet owner, your mental health matters.
As a client, here’s how you can support your vet team:
🐶 Be kind. A smile and a thank you go a long way
🐱 Understand we’re often working under high pressure and doing our very best for every animal
🐾 Don’t assume. If something isn’t clear, please ask. We’re always happy to explain why we do things a certain way
🌼 Show appreciation. Even small gestures make a big difference to our day
Let’s continue to create a community where compassion flows both ways, from us to your pets and from you to the people who care for them.
📞 If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out:
