On World Su***de Prevention Day we want to remind everyone to be kind to everyone and to think twice before speaking. Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians, and Veterinary Staff are very susceptible to mental health issues due to the nature of our work. While the outcome of your pet's treatment may not be what was expected, taking out your anger on the veterinarian or staff is not productive. It only makes us feel worse than we already did regarding the loss of a patient. Please remember that kind words go far and we appreciate them.

We realize that taking your cat to the clinic can be very stressful for not only your cat, but for you as well. If your cat seems to be stressed for the visit please contact the office for some suggestions on transporting your cat to the clinic. Annual examinations, vaccinations, and routine blood panels can help to keep your kitty in tip top shape and hopefully identify diseases at an early stage so that we can try to control the progression.
