Our thoughts and hearts go out to the family and community that have recently experienced the loss of one of our own. đź’”
It’s an important reminder of what goes on behind the scenes in every vet clinic. Kindness and grace for each other go a long way💜

Veterinary medicine is a rewarding, demanding, emotional, and heartbreaking career.
We get to care for those who cannot speak for themselves. But we also see what happens when they aren’t cared for the way they deserve—and sometimes, we can’t fix it.
That stays with us.
This profession has one of the highest su***de rates.And this week, we lost someone close to home.A good one.
Costs are rising beyond what people can afford. Care is being delayed or declined. And the people in this field are the ones carrying the weight of those decisions every single day.
Receptionists are yelled at, blamed, and undervalued—while being the emotional front line for every client and every case.
Technicians are exhausted. Understaffed. Overextended. They are doing the jobs of multiple roles at once, trying to hold everything together, while watching patients go without the care they need.
Veterinarians are drowning in caseloads, making impossible decisions, and being told they’re only in it for money.
And through all of it—we care. We care so much it hurts.
We remember the ones we couldn’t save. We think about the ones who left without treatment. We carry those cases home with us.
So when someone says, “I couldn’t do that—I love animals too much,” what they don’t understand is… that’s exactly why we do this.
This week, we lost a veterinarian—a wife and a mother.
If this industry contributed to that loss in any way, that is something we cannot keep ignoring. Not One More Vet (NOMV) means something. It means we need awareness. It means we need support.
And it means we need change—before we lose more people who have given everything to this profession.
