Not every difficult employment relationship in vet med has a bad person in it. Sometimes, people just stop aligning, and if you’re not communicating clearly, that can erode trust pretty quickly.

You don’t have to agree on everything to build a good veterinary practice. But you do have to be aligned on where you’re going.

There’s a lot of pet health advice online, and not all of it is being shared to help your pet. Before trusting someone selling you the “alternative” to veterinary medicine, look at their credentials, their training, and what they’re actually trying to sell you.

Your mentor doesn’t have to be the most successful veterinarian in the room. Find someone who’s willing to share what they’ve learned, help you navigate the hard days, and genuinely invest in the kind of vet you’re becoming.

Della was so loved and this letter meant the world to me and my team ❤️ 

Young vets, don’t underestimate the importance of connecting with the humans in the room. The medicine is only part of what we do.

Tough conversations are part of leadership in vet med, but they’re easier when your team knows what’s expected from the start. Clear expectations and knowing what success looks like make accountability supportive, not punitive. Vet med leaders, what’s your approach to these conversations?

Devastated by this news. I am always here to support any young person in the industry.

Pet insurance isn’t about guaranteeing you’ll “get your money back.” It’s about giving you more options when an unexpected veterinary bill comes up.

Owning a veterinary practice means being a veterinarian, business owner, leader, and about 10 other jobs all at once. Some days are harder than others, but I wouldn’t trade getting to build a team I care about and help pets and their families every day.
