The not so Hidden Struggle: The Unfortunate Reality of Abuse Faced by Veterinary Staff from Clients

Addressing the abuse faced by veterinary staff from clients is crucial for the well-being of both professionals and the animals they care for. Clients must recognize the dedication and expertise of veterinary professionals and understand that, like any healthcare provider, they deserve respect and consideration. Veterinary practices can implement measures to support their staff, such as training in conflict resolution, establishing clear communication channels, and promoting a culture of respect. By working together to address this issue, we can create an environment where veterinary staff can focus on providing the best care for our furry companions without fear of mistreatment.
