Happy International Day of Veterinary Medicine! 🩺
Celebrated annually on December 9th, today is a day to recognize the work of veterinarians and other animal care professionals. Honoring the dedication, time, sweat and tears that go into working to improve the lives of animals and their human counterparts.
Being an essential service, vet clinics didn't close during our most recent pandemic. During such there was a very drastic influx in puppy and kittens, as a lot of people were working from home or just not able to work. With the influx, we have also been seeing a continuous decline in the amount of veterinarians and support staff alike, therefore causing a constant strain on clinics in trying to maintain being able to keep up with clients and patients.
Though there is sometimes a bit of a skewed idea of what we do for work, such as playing with puppies and kittens everyday, there is much, much more to it than that. We are here to provide your typical lifestyle type appointments for vaccines and checks ups, but we're also here firsthand dealing with the difficult decisions and discussions, and doing our best to help deteriorating and ill pets.
Today is important for a multitude of reasons, and we only hope it may help you appreciate your veterinary staff just a little bit more for all that they have done and continue to do to support and help your furry family members. ❤
