🫶 Local Loves Shoutout 🫶
⭐️ Black Rock Vets 🐾
Each Christmas I usually like to put up a little local loves post for a local business, this Christmas period became more complicated than usual for many reasons and I didn't get around to it, however, I still wanted to put one up as this was a very personal one for me.
Anyone that knows me, knows that aswell as dogs, i also have cats who are all my world.
On Christmas Eve my little clingy shadow cat Penny had to have emergency surgery for an obstruction (shes a monkey!), and I can not say how thankful I am to all at Black Rock Vets who got her in and seen fast, put up with me being worried sick, and got her operated on and back home with me for Christmas day, and shes currently healing well. 🐈⬛️🎄
Vetinary Staff have such a difficult job, both rewarding and heartbreaking with long hours and a strenuous mental toll. Working in the pet Industry I have many friends across different practices and I see the dedication, the family time sacrifices and hardwork all year round.
So,
🫶 A heartfelt thank you to ALL Veterinary Staff for the dedication, skill and compassion you show throughout the year. From vets and Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs/RCNs), to student nurses, animal care assistants, reception teams and support staff, your commitment to animal welfare never wavers. This is especially true over the Christmas and New Year period, when you continue to work long hours, provide emergency care and support worried owners while many others are able to rest and celebrate. Your professionalism, kindness and resilience make a profound difference every single day, and it is deeply appreciated.
