How does it feel to be working in a veterinary clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic? That’s the question hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT address during this podcast.

Dr. Ward shares messages and comments from veterinary professionals dealing with everything from “staycation pet parents” looking for something to do, “quarantined from work” folks looking for a nail trim for their pet, to the seemingly overwhelming demands of bosses and managers seeking to maximize revenue during these times.

The duo also express hope that the human-animal bond will be amplified after this crisis resolves, and share why they think humans need companion animals more than ever.

This is a frank, honest, and perhaps painful look at the current state of veterinary practice in the US during the coronavirus pandemic.

Viewfinders, what are you feeling during this time? Are you stressed? Overworked? Worried about your health or your co-workers’? What steps are you taking to continue serving your pet patients? Are you experiencing any PPE or supply shortages?

Please share with us what's happening in your clinic on social media @VetViewfinder and /VeterinaryViewfinder.

Dr. Ward adds, “Stay safe and give your pets a hug from me!” Until next week, Viewfinders, stay positive! We got this!
