Featured by Taylor & Francis: The Hidden Emotional Toll of Veterinary Care

Taylor & Francis, the publisher of A Compassionate Calling: What It Really Means to Be a Veterinarian, recently shared a press release about the book, highlighting the untold stories behind veterinary medicine.

While nearly 90% of pet owners see their animals as family, few realize the emotional and practical challenges veterinarians face every day. From long hours and staff shortages to navigating heartbreaking financial and ethical dilemmas, veterinarians often carry a heavy emotional load alongside their deep compassion for animals.

In the press release, Dr. Marie Holowaychuk explains:

“My hope is that this book not only fosters empathy for veterinarians but also inspires a future where their wellbeing is valued just as much as the care they provide.”
