I too remember wanting to enter the vet field when I was a teenager, but then I didn't do well at the sight of blood, so that thought was a fast passing one! I totally agree, too, that a vet needs to have good people skills as well as being great with the health care of their patients. Since our pets can't talk, we are the ones who have to understand the information the vet is giving us, to be able to make decisions in our pets' best interests. And sometimes those decisions are critical. And it also certainly helps if you have a vet and staff that are truly compassionate, gentle, and caring, Great article!Sassmuffinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819788024520488165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-49003237025695231402013-10-26T00:17:43.560-05:002013-10-26T00:17:43.560-05:00Ha, I'm sure Katie isn't the only cat that...Ha, I'm sure Katie isn't the only cat that would like to turn their vet to bits ;) AnnStaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386132460741393276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-82944193393295367032013-10-26T00:16:46.533-05:002013-10-26T00:16:46.533-05:00I've dealt with those kinds of people a lot. I...I've dealt with those kinds of people a lot. It's always frustrating, sad, or makes you angry. It gets easier with time and practice. Many people are completely clueless, and every time I was able to educate someone it felt great. I think that's why I like the exotic animals so much. So many exotic pet owners are just clueless about their care, and it's the reason they get sick. Sometimes you just have to hold your breath, clear your mind and be as non-judgmental as possible.

Just as a heads-up, the awards you reference are actually Petplan UK's awards - and unfortunately U.S. veterinary professionals aren't eligible. BUT, the good news is, Petplan US (whom I work for, full disclosure), also has their own version of the Vet Awards! The only difference is, nominations close November 15, and the winners will be announced in Las Vegas in February. To learn more and to help people recognize their amazing vets, vet techs, practice managers and animal hospitals, just visit to www.GoPetplan.com/vetawards. Thanks!
