Empathy is a loosely used word within the veterinary industry. But what is it really? Why is it an important quality for effective professionals?
Empathy is defined as the ability to sense another person’s emotions and imagine what the other person might be feeling or thinking. Meanwhile, sympathy is feeling bad for someone or being able to identify with what a person feels.

When is it time to go to the veterinary ER? When is it OK to wait?
With the shortage of veterinarians in the field and the limited ability of the local ER clinics to accommodate the influx of incoming emergencies in recent years, you may have concerns if you have a pet that gets sick or injured when your regular vet is closed or unable to see you.
The pandemic has rendered a lot of veterinary clinics across the country understaffed, leading to updates and changes in operational hours. But because at Northway Veterinary Clinic, our clients’ pet care is the core reason we are here, so we are aiming to get back on track and provide 24/7 emergency petcare services soon.
We have updated our new emergency hours beginning August 16, 2021. While it is not the best case scenario for us, we had to make some more adjustments to our operation hours given the challenges in staffing. The setback in staffing is something that is experienced not just in our clinic but across the country.
Everyone enjoys the summer season. Swimming, hanging out by your deck with family and friends, even doing fun activities all throughout the day. When it’s warm outside, you’re not the only one craving fun times.

Due to unforeseen staffing challenges, we have had to make some changes and adjustments to our emergency department hours of operation. We want to be able to serve the community to the best of our ability when your regular veterinarian is closed. However, in order to offer the best possible care, we need to have appropriate staffing levels.
