As veterinary professionals, we hold the space for animal owners to lean on us, open up to us, and share with us their moments of joy, frustration, and grief. We also hold the space for animals to be happy, ill, terrified, full of vigor, full of adrenaline, full of love, and everything in between. On any given day, we may see anywhere from 15–40 (or maybe even 100) pets in an 8–12 hours time window.
