>> My staff. No matter how much you enjoy your work, if the people you work with are schmucks, every day is a burden. When you have fun with them and laugh, every day is a great experience. — Practice owner
>> My coworkers. — Practice manager
The joy of diagnosing and treating a challenging case—and getting a successful outcome. — Associate veterinarian
>> New learning experiences—especially from the younger veterinarians—even after 30+ years in practice. — Practice owner
>> The unpredictability of each day. — Practice manager
>> Cats! — Associate veterinarian
>> I’m an ambulatory equine practitioner, so freedom is my favorite thing. Plus, the horses! — Associate veterinarian
>> Seeing a pet’s health turn around after treatment. Even more, seeing a client’s reaction when their beloved pet’s health turns around—and we helped. — Practice manager
>> When people say you made a difference in their lives—even if it was just being sympathetic and kind when they had to euthanize their pet. — Associate veterinarian
