"Even after almost 30 years as a veterinarian, I still find so much satisfaction in my career choice. Every situation is different- from the first puppy visit with the proud family, to later routine procedures or visits, various ailments or traumas, to the final farewell visit. The satisfaction comes not just in treating the pet, but also being entrusted by the family throughout different life stages to help guide them through whatever choices that arise ."
