More: I am a veterinarian and would like to encourage pet owners to pass on a smile or thank you to your veterinarian the next time you see or think of them. Veterinarians have the highest suicide rate of any profession. Female veterinarians are 3.5 times and males are 2.1 times more likely to die by suicide then the general population. We care very much about your pets. We all need to be kind. I would like the $500 gift card for winning the photo control be donated to the NOMV (Not One More Vet) organization to support veterinarians considering suicide or families that have been affected. Above is my heart dog, Fly. I wouldn’t have made it out of my internship without her. Be the change you want to see in the world.
