ST. LOUIS, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- From the childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian and saving the lives of pets, to today's realities of practicing veterinary medicine, the deep commitment veterinarians feel for their calling remains unchanged. However, certain factors make that commitment increasingly difficult. Long hours, understaffing, student debt and fatigue can all take their toll – but nothing more so than clients who can't afford appropriate veterinary care, according to a survey conducted by Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets ahead of World Veterinary Day, which is celebrated the last Saturday of April.

Key Points: 
  • In the survey*, nearly 6 in 10 practitioners (57%) said their desire to become veterinarians began in elementary school or earlier, fueled by a shared aspiration to make pets' lives better.
  • All such solutions require sacrifice on the part of veterinarians, whether the cost is emotional, financial or professional, noted Dr. Harris.
  • Veterinarians can visit www.ProPlanVetSupport.com to learn more about the Pro Plan Veterinary Support Mission and to see if they qualify for a grant under the AVMF REACH Program.
  • A total of 301 U.S. companion animal and mixed animal veterinarians working 20 or more hours per week qualified and completed the survey.
