Do you find it easier or harder to euthanize your own pet after working in the industry?

I don't think it changes anything, I love my pet just like any other member of my family so it wouldn't be easy.

I think that now that I work as a veterinarian it would be easier to do it since I know the risks and the suffering I would be going through if I didn't make that decision.

I have many years of experience and it is never easy for me to do it with the animals that are brought to me, so it would not be easy for me to do it to my pet, even though I know the reasons why it should be done.

I euthanize animals for a living and it is always hard. No matter how many times I do it, it never gets easier. Each animal is an individual and I feel like I am making a decision that will impact their entire life. I always hope that I am making the right decision and that the animal is not in pain.

It is much harder to euthanize a pet after working in the veterinary industry. I have developed a bond with each and every one of my patients, and it is heartbreaking to have to end their lives. However, I know that it is often the kindest thing that I can do for them, and I take comfort in knowing that they are no longer suffering.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question, as everyone may have different opinions on the matter. However, some people may find it easier to euthanize their own pet after working in the veterinary industry, as they understand the process and what is happening. Others may find it harder to euthanize their pet after working in the veterinary industry, as they may have formed a stronger bond with the animal. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide what they feel is best for them and their pet.

I have an aging kitty I will have to put down soon. Working at a clinic has shown me why it's the right decision, but I don't think it will make the grieving any easier. I'll still be losing a best friend.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
