Update
Life has been a bit chaotic lately, so I have had to hit pause on new episodes. But don’t worry—Nicholas (awesome producer) and I are planning to return with exciting new content in March! Thanks for sticking with us, and we can't wait to bring you more helpful and inspiring discussions soon!
Tails from a Vet Tech is a podcast dedicated to highlighting, educating, and advocating for veterinary, shelter, and behavior animal professionals. Our mission is to provide education, information, and dialogue that will create a supportive environment that empowers animal professionals to take care of themselves and the animals they work with. Tabitha and her amazing guests share reflections and experiences from their lives in shelter and vet med. We will have thought-provoking conversations about the ugly and beautiful moments and share success stories with the goal of supporting and inspiring others.
