I’ve been fortunate to have had some excellent veterinarians. I have found that working together as a team has worked so well for my pets. My current vet knows I listen and will follow her instructions. I know she knows me well enough to answer my questions honestly. I treat the staff well, pay my bill without complaint, and tell all how much I appreciate them. And that is sincere. It’s very hard to find a vet accepting new patients where I live. I’m lucky to have found this practice and grateful. My pets are very important to me and my vet knows and honors that. What more could I ask for?

As the mother of a 4th year vet student, there's not much that surprised me but I hope it surprises others. Your insight is just what the world needs. Looks like you've had some great coaching in people management. May it continue to serve you well.

Sadly, I've heard that suicide statistic many times. It's shocking but also not shocking when you consider even just how much death vets are exposed to. I can’t handle losing one dog every 14 years, never mind daily.

I have so much respect for what you do!

Higher education in America requires students to be enrolled more years and charges them much more money particularly in the field of medicine. Compared to other countries it is shameful and it truly resembles criminal activity.

Loved this, Sami! So cool to get a real glimpse into what being a vet is actually like. I'm pretty sure the first day I met you I told you it was my dream job too, haha #guilty. You vets are a tough bunch and I'm so proud of you and excited to keep following along 💛
