veterinarian

Going to the vet is never easy for anyone involved. The face of your dog who thinks you're going on a walk when you start approaching your vet's clinic falling is a painful sight to most owners. But sometimes, it's necessary. And when our good boys and girls get through the treatment they need, you want nothing more than to tell them how good they did and spoil them silly. And this twitter user's dog got exactly what it deserved: a certificate of bravery. 

Honestly, we think more vets should give out stuff like this. I mean... even though we know our dogs can't read that and don't really understand it, it definitely makes us as owners feel better - both because we know our pupper earned it and because... well, we feel like we kinda earned it too. Going to the vet is stressful on us too lol.

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a veterinarian would look like? Well, wonder no more! One Imgur user that goes by grabboid10 has given us a glimpse into her world and it's filled with cats! 

Being a vet is probably every young animal lover's dream. We know it was ours when we were younglings. The only thing that stops a lot of us from moving forward with this dream is the realization that you'd be seeing a lot of sick animals. And sometimes, animals so sick there's really not much you can do. It's a heartbreaking thought but the animal-lovers that do follow this road are strong, and they are so brave. Thank you to all the vets out there who dedicate their lives to helping animals. Seriously, thank you. 

Recently, there was an AskReddit thread asking the vets of Reddit to share what they wish their clients knew, and it's very informative.

Today we're going on a tour into the day in the life of one veterinarian, cats edition. The following commentary is provided by Imgur user grabboid10:

We absolutely adore our pets, no matter what crazy shenanigans they may get into or how often they keep us awake at night. The alternative to living a life without a pet just sounds so... lonely. If you're a pet owner, you'd want the absolute best for your best friend because you love them. Well. here are some really helpful tips that may just take you from being a good pet owner to being a great pet owner. 

When it comes to animals, vets have quite a difficult job. To be a vet you must love animals, yet you often sick animals and sometimes, even have to help them cross over the rainbow bridge. It's definitely no easy task and we can't help but admire their strength.

Thanks to Redditor, u/mrktx21, a question to the Reddit community about what veterinarians wish people knew and understood about their pets has gone viral, and within the thread is a lot of valuable and excellent information. 

ICanHasCheezburger? is proud to present and partner with The Waggle Foundation, in a Pet of the Month initiative. 

Each month, we will be featuring a pet in critical need and needs financial help to survive. We will share their story, their adorable photos, and their journey with the help of unbelievably kind strangers. 

The Waggle Foundation is a unique crowd-funding platform. Their mission is to help reduce economic euthanasia in pets. Unfortunately, because of financial struggles families cannot afford to help their beloved pets. That is where the Waggle Foundation steps in. They strive to help each and every pet in need, and just as their motto says "No pet parent should lose their best friend because of financial hardship."

And we couldn't agree more.

100% of donations to pets on the Waggle crowdfunding platform go directly to the veterinary providers administering care and never to the pet owners. This way, Waggle provides the safety and security for all donors in a way that other crowdfunding platforms cannot guarantee, and is reassured that the pet gets the help it needs.

And with that, we would like to present Chloë!

Let's just face it. Pets have some strange sixth sense when it comes to the vet clinic. As soon as they get in the car, their look on their faces instantly changes as if they know they're not going to the beach or the park this time. Fortunately, there are some veterinarian clinics out there with a great sense of humor to help your pet get through their next painful office visit. 

Time for the vets to rule! These funny vet memes will fix what ails you. 

Some vets have a great sense of humor, especially when it comes to cat puns. We just love it.
