Confession: sometimes, when the owner leaves the exam room, I vent to the pet about how annoying their owner is.

HAHAHAHA, the exact same thing happens to me, and more so with those owners who treat the animal like a baby and there are animals that show a certain discomfort.

I don't expect the owner to leave the room, I tell him face to face hahaha, the owners believe that he is playing and there is nothing further from reality.

I've always wanted to do that but I'm afraid that the owner will come back while I say that to the pet, there are people who are so annoying that I'm sure they bother their own animals, I can swear that some have asked me for help with a look of despair.

In a certain way, I understood that many people see the pet as their child or their friend and that is very nice and respectable, but there are people who overact this love and it shows that it goes from being cute to being quite annoying.

What a curious way of expressing love, as veterinarians we know very well what the animal needs, but the owners become very upset because since they live with the pet they come to believe that we don't know anything because their pet is "special", and The truth is that even in that we humans are similar to animals when we feel bad we just want to feel good.

Animals are excellent listeners, aren't they?

😂 I love that! Thing is, I bet the pet already knows 😂 I'm all about finding little ways to make your job easier throughout the day.

I need help. I think I’m being underpaid at my job I’ve been at for 3 1/2 years. I’m a full time receptionist for a veterinary hospital but I also manage the reception area (I answer all questions and if someone makes a mistake I’m the one the fix it) and am an in house trained veterinary assistant but can do a techs job (unlicensed) and I do help the technicians out anytime they need and I’m only getting paid $13 an hour while a crew member at arbys gets paid $15 . What should I do ?

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise. Given the minimum wage, I make about $5 over but that hasn’t really changed to match inflation of living, etc and truly feel like I should be making a decent amount more given my skills. Any helpful advice?
