IndeVets

Salt Lake City, we're headed your way for VETgirl U. 👋

Swing by the IndeVets table to chat about a better way to practice: W-2 stability, the days you want to work, and an advocacy team + vet community in your corner.

Come say hi. We'd love to meet you.

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, community, and belonging. 🌈

At IndeVets, we’re proud to support LGBTQ+ veterinary professionals and allies who help make veterinary medicine stronger every day.

We believe everyone deserves a workplace where they feel seen, valued, and supported. When people can bring their whole selves to work, they do their best work, and our profession is better for it.

Happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈 💙

Fear, anxiety, and stress don’t just affect the patient experience. They impact the quality of care.

In our new blog, Dr. Erica Thiel shares how Fear Free® principles are changing the way we approach veterinary medicine and why we’ve made certification a requirement for all IndeVets doctors.

Think relief means sacrificing client relationships? Think again.

80% of IndeVets doctors work 10+ shifts at the same hospital, building real connections with teams, clients, and patients.

Take it from Dr. Michelle, who always loves seeing Toby at Park Heights Animal Care Center in Florida. 🐾 "He is the sweetest boy and always gives sloppy kisses!"

What changes when your workweek actually works for you?

More energy.
More presence with patients.
More life outside the clinic.

Dr. Kristin Serrano chose a 4-day schedule—and now has Fridays off.

“I’m not burned out. I’m refreshed.”

Manis, pedis, and time to unwind 💅

We loved bringing Fairfax-area veterinarians together at Constance Polish Lounge for a relaxing afternoon outside the clinic. Great conversations, a little self-care, and time spent with fellow vets made for the perfect event.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait for the next one.

Burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a response to the environment we work in.

This Mental Health Month, we’re sharing insights from our veterinary social worker, Dave Shuey, on what real progress in vet med looks like and how we can move forward together.

Not your typical lunch break 🦝💚

While working a shift at Bay Animal Hospital, Associate IndeVet Dr. Gale spent her lunch break volunteering alongside a rehab tech — helping feed six orphaned raccoons (just 6 weeks old!).

Moments like this are a reminder: our doctors care for animals of all kinds, wherever they’re needed.
