The Best Veterinarians

We’re saying thanks this holiday for those who touch our pet’s lives all year. In a previous blog, we described why we appreciate humane society and animal shelter employees, and in this blog, we say thanks to veterinarians.

I know what it’s like to need a veterinarian even though I’m a veterinarian myself and take care of other’s pets. I know what it’s like because when my own pets are sick, I act like the proverbial hysterical parent. The colleagues who have helped with my pets this year are examples of exceptional professionals, being both well educated and spiritually balanced: Dr. Pamela Bouchard and Dr. Rachel Griffith anesthetized Sam and helped diagnose his breathing problems. Dr. Carol Falck treated Star for hematuria; Dr. Xie and Dr. Nancy Keller helped with Sam’s cancer.

There are hundreds of veterinarians that go the extra mile not just for pets like Sam & Star who belong to a colleague, but for every pet. They spend hours learning new, more effective techniques, reading charts, analyzing lab results, and contacting their patients. Among the veterinarians that set stellar examples of professionalism, kindness, and wisdom are:
