π¨ ARIZONA VETERINARY COMMUNITY ALERT β PLEASE SHARE π¨
**see edit below**
EVE Pet Hospital is asking for the community's help following a disturbing incident that occurred at our hospital yesterday.
A client left our facility without paying for their pet's examination and treatments. As they were leaving, the individual intentionally reversed their vehicle and struck one of our veterinary technicians.
Let that sink in. One of our team members was physically struck by a vehicle while simply trying to do their job.
The police have been contacted, and an official report has been filed. Unfortunately, the individuals involved provided false identifying information.
We have photographs, video footage, and the vehicle's license plate information, which have been provided to assist with the investigation.
We are asking our fellow veterinary professionals to please be on alert. If these individuals come into your hospital or clinic, please exercise caution and prioritize the safety of your staff.
If you have experienced a similar situation, recognize the individuals involved, or have any information that may assist with this investigation, please contact law enforcement. You may also reach out to EVE Pet Hospital through our official page.
We are sharing this not only to seek accountability but, more importantly, to help prevent another veterinary team from experiencing something like this.
Our veterinary teams show up every day to care for animals and help people. No one should ever have to fear for their physical safety while doing their job.
Please share this post within the veterinary community. Let's look out for one another.
Thank you for your support.
