What The Veterinary Industry Doesn't Teach You Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

Send us an inquiry through a text message here!

Welcome to another episode of The Veterinary Roundtable! In this week’s episode, the ladies dive into two listener messages that spark some real talk about the veterinary industry. First, they share advice for a pre-vet student eager to learn what vet school doesn’t teach you — the hard lessons, the financial realities, and the personal growth that comes from experience. Then, they unpack a bold take from a vet tech and groomer who believes the profession might be going too far in trying to “fix” mental health and job satisfaction. Is vet med losing its professionalism in the process? Tune in as the team gets candid about the balance between empathy and accountability, the evolution of workplace culture, and what they’ve learned the hard way.
