We need to have an after-hours vet clinic in Prince George.
First, I want to say that the vets in Prince George have been nothing but incredible, especially considering how overworked and burnt out they have been. I recently got to use the vet triage system that is set up for after hours care. Though the people I spoke to were understanding and professional, it was still a stressful experience.
I understand that this was put into place to help take some of the burden off of the local vets, but I must say that we need a more permanent solution in the north. I'm not saying that I have all of the answers, but we definitely need to do more. I heard on the news awhile back that there was talk of setting up a vet school at UNBC. I'm all for that idea as well. I also believe that we need to do more in not just retaining the vets that we currently have, but I think that more needs to be done to entice more vets to come live, stay and practice in the north.
I am an animal owner, have been my entire life. I've noticed that there are a lot of animal owners in this city. Like a lot of other people, my animals are my family. I believe that we need to do more for them. They're family, after all.
