In vet med, we’re trained to find what’s wrong. But what if our survival now depends on celebrating what’s right?

If you’re always the hero, your team never learns to lead. 🦸‍♀️

Magnolia Animal Dentistry is proof that when you lead with people first, everything else follows. 💙

Since opening in 2017, this team has built one of the strongest cultures in our Companion family—rooted in collaboration, communication, and compassion. Their focus on connection, empathy, and open conversation makes Magnolia a place where team members and patients truly thrive.

We’re so proud to celebrate their example this month!

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of patient care, team needs, and the endless to-do list. But as Dr. Andy Roark reminds us, “Life is what you focus on.”

When you choose to look for the moments that make you laugh—the relationships, the small wins, the joy in the work—you start to remember why you fell in love with veterinary medicine in the first place.

“Enthusiasm is a double-edged sword.” 💡

Even when our motivations are in the right place, change can land the wrong way if our teams feel criticized instead of supported.

What if, instead of “This isn’t working,” we said, “You’re doing great—and we’re ready for the next level”?

That small shift can change everything about how your team receives feedback and grows together.

🎧 Listen to Episode 2 of The Veterinary Leader Podcast for more takeaways from Dr. Andy and Dr. Kate on leading with empathy, focus, and joy.

Constantly worried about vet industry trends? Don’t be.

As Dr. Andy Roark shares in this week’s episode of The Veterinary Leader Podcast, national numbers don’t define your hospital’s reality.

Focus on what you can control—your clients, your community, your medicine.
