For the Vets

This business adventure is dedicated to Cherrie. She provided exceptional care to my dog “Zeus” as he journeyed through palliative care. She provided unconditional love and support to our family in Zeus’s final moments and I will remain forever grateful.

"Suicide rates of Australian veterinarians have been estimated to be up to four times higher than that of the general population"

Jones-Fairnie et al., 2008, as cited in Gardiner et al., 2022

Warning signs can include:

Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
Feelings of being a burden to others
Increased tiredness/emotional fatigue
Decreased appetite
Withdrawal from activities you would normally enjoy

You are not alone and I promise you, your life is of significant value even if you can’t feel it right now.
