Work life balance on Vet Candy Life
Whatever you want to call it “work-life balance” or "work life harmony" - it still means that the best life is the balanced life. Work-life balance is an important aspect of a healthy work environment.
Maintaining work-life balance helps reduce stress and helps prevent burnout in the workplace. When balance is missing, we experience stress. Stress is one of the most common health issues in the workplace. It can lead to physical consequences and it can also negatively impact mental health because it’s linked to a higher risk of depression, anxiety and insomnia.
On this episode of Vet Candy Life, Dr. Quincy Hawley and Renee Machel talk about the importance of finding balance in your life. This episode also features MJ, an fitness guru who shows us some easy ways to destress. This show is RACE and NYS approved for veterinary continuing education and is brought to you by VetProCentral.

Alyssa Borden wants you to find your passion in life
Burn out is a real, and pervasive problem in the vet industry. People work long hours, often in emotionally charged situations, and often throw a work/life balance out the window. Veterinary technician, Alyssa Borden, knows first hand just how tough this problem can be.
After struggling with the huge burden of hating the job she used to love, Alyssa got the best advice she would ever get in her career—“If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.”
She made the difficult decision to leave the clinic, and to set off on a new adventure instead. This decision lead her to Vetsie, a virtual care clinic that would help her strike a better work life balance. It ended up being a great decision for her. Vetsie allowed her to continue offering care to animals and helping owners in need, without feeling overwhelmed or burned out by her job.

Talking about secrets to happy customers with Dr. Natalie Marks
Taking care of pet health is the heart of every clinic. Good pet care needs to be the foundation of every practice, but if it's the only focus the clinic might not be as successful as it could be. Great health care at the expense of customer service can result in high customer turn over, and at best lackluster reviews.
On this episode of Vet Candy IRL, Shannon Gregoire and Tatiana Rogers speak with Dr. Natalie Marks about secrets to happy customers, including ways to make the vaccine visit better.

Vet Candy Magazine special edition: Ophthalmology
In this issue of Vet Candy Magazine, it is all about the eyes! As veterinarians, we often faced with some really horrible eye cases, like that inevitable Shih Tzu with an eye prolapse or that bulldog with the nasty melting corneal ulcer. Years ago, the only option for severe cases was enucleation. Now, with the increasing number of specialists, we have an option to refer these cases to specialists who can likely save the eyes. Thank goodness!
According to AVMA 2018 data, there are 453 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists. Our favorite one is Ohio veterinarian, Dr. DJ Haeussler, who graces our cover this month.
Helping veterinarians save eyes is why Vet Candy partnered up with Dr. DJ and Sentrx Animal Care to create a master course in ophthalmology. This free program is RACE and New York State approved for CE and focuses on reinforcing the essential fundamentals of eye care. Whether you are a recent graduate or want to upgrade your skills, this free course if for you! Check it out at myvetcandy.com/eye

The culture of grief when it comes to our animal companions leaves many bereaved pet owners feeling lost and isolated. Too often, the expectation from friends and family is that the mourning period should last no more than a few days to weeks. But the loss of an animal can be equally as devastating as a human loss — it’s just that the support and resources for this brand of grief have been in short supply.
