Responsibility Is Something I Take Very Seriously. I Never Underestimate The Huge Amount Of Courage It Takes For An Owner To Hand Over Their Beloved Pet Into Our Care

Veterinarian holding a small puppy, using a stethoscope, in an animal clinic setting.

Especially in emergencies, we often have no prior relationship with them because they have never been to us before. Regardless of how busy I am, I always take the time to listen to owners, reassure them that they did the right thing, that they are in the best place, and that I will do my best to take care of their pet as if it were my own. ⁣As a veterinarian, it is important that we take regular moments to acknowledge that it is a gift to be able to care for these pets in their time of need and a privilege to be trusted with their lives.
