💸 “Y’all are just in it for the money!”
👀 Oh sweetie… if that were true, we’d be on a beach somewhere, not pulling socks out of a Great Dane’s colon at 3am.
Let’s clear the air:
🚨 Emergency vet care isn’t cheap. And here’s why:
1️⃣ We’re open nights, weekends, and holidays... when your regular vet is sleeping like a baby (and rightfully so). That means higher staffing costs, afterhours trained professionals, and a full medical team ready to roll when everyone else is off.
2️⃣ Our equipment isn’t from Hobby Lobby. It’s high-tech, life-saving, and stupid expensive. (Like, "could’ve bought a boat" expensive.)
3️⃣ We don’t have magic funding. No government subsidies, no billionaire sugar daddies, and sadly no “free care fairy.” We run a small business that pays real humans with real rent and real student loans. 🫠
4️⃣ We don’t make the emergencies, we just clean up the chaos and save as many lives as we can. Your dog decided to eat an entire corn cob at 10pm? That’s not on us, fam.
💔 We get it... pet emergencies hit hard, emotionally and financially. We hate that part, too. But we promise: we’re not trying to rob you. We’re trying to save your pet’s life… and still have enough left to pay the electric bill.
So no, we’re not “in it for the money.”
We’re in it for the pets, the chaos, the purpose… and okay, maybe the snacks in the break room and the puppy snuggles.
