1 in 6 veterinarians consider su***de at some point in their career, according to a 2019 CDC study. Not One More Vet, Inc describes daily stress from finances, treatment outcomes, and tough client interactions as main causes. This ***dePreventionMonth, we can all take steps to protect the mental health of our pet care professionals.

🐾Pet parents can lead with patience, kindness, trust, and understanding. We're here to support you, and truly want the best for you and your family. Learn more at nomv.org/pet-guardians/

🩺Veterinary teams can work together to create a sense of belonging, pride, and community. Find resources and how-to's at nomv.org/veterinary-professionals-resources/

We created ACES not only to offer an urgent care option for pet parents in the Madison area and beyond, but also to ease the unsustainable status of emergency vet medicine that's been growing since the pandemic. Long wait times and overfilled waiting rooms are bad for everyone, and we needed a better way to reprioritize work-life balance and mental health for the vital staff in charge of our pets' health.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is here. Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline 24/7. #988

First week with the kids back at school have you frazzled? Your pets might feel the same way! Daily routines have changed and their small human friends aren't there to play with them during the day. Try these tactics to keep tails wagging and paws kneading these next few weeks:

💡Adjust their routine gradually to avoid anxiousness (feeding times, walks, bedtime)

💡Make a safe space they can go when they're bored or lonely (comfy bed and favorite toys)

💡Keep them engaged to avoid destructive behavior (interactive toys, hide and seek, learning or reinforcing tricks)

💡Get them exercise to burn off energy (morning walks, playtime, and activity-based toys)

💡Schedule things like pet sitters or doggy daycare to provide social interaction while you're away.

The best thing we can do to prevent cancer in our best friends is to watch for the warning signs. If your pet has these common symptoms, it might be time to ask your vet for a cancer screening:

➡️Trouble chewing or swallowing
➡️Not wanting to exercise
➡️Growing lumps or sores that don't want to heal
➡️Big changes in weight or how much they eat
➡️ Unusually strong orders
➡️ Discharge or bleeding

We'd like to apologize... Our windows were too clean! We felt bad for the (more than a) few people who've bonked their noggins on their way in or out of our front entrance. The culprit? Our sparkling clean floor-to-ceiling vestibule window, which looks tantalizingly like a direct portal to the inside and outside.

So, we added a fun graphic to gently coax our guests through the door 😇

Thanks to for the art, and for the fantastic install!
