\"dressAs busy veterinary professionals<\/a>, dedicated to constantly improving our skills, we take our jobs seriously. It is an honor and privilege to care for our community\u2019s pets, and we strive everyday to make a difference in the lives of our furry patients. The best part? We have fun doing it!<\/p>\n

We are committed to the highest level of veterinary professionalism. However, in order to maximize our efforts, the value of balance must be recognized. To truly work well together (and deliver the best possible care), we design opportunities to balance the serious nature of our workplace with a little folly, like our monthly Dress Up Day. And now, you get to play along with us!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Serious, Not Grim<\/h3>\n

Our veterinary hospital<\/a> can be an exciting, and sometimes exhilarating, place to be. Many of the pets who come in to see us are happy about it. This, of course, makes us feel like our jobs are worthwhile. Just because our patients are happy doesn\u2019t necessarily make our workplace a silly environment. On the contrary; we work even harder to ensure a pet\u2019s wellness.<\/p>\n

Feel at Ease<\/h3>\n

There is hard evidence that supports the value in an environment that allows an individual to feel at ease. In other words, happy staff members<\/a> are great employees.<\/p>\n

\"dress<\/p>\n

Because we want every professional here to feel at home, we created a monthly Dress Up Day to encourage a feeling of shared purpose and engagement among our staff.<\/p>\n

Quirks and Personalities<\/h3>\n

To successfully build morale, we decided to pay close attention to the unique quirks and personalities of our staff members. Similar to having a \u201ctheme day\u201d at summer camp, Dress Up Days offer wonderful opportunities to just be ourselves at work. Far from mandatory, these special days give people a chance to have a little fun, get creative, and feel more productive.<\/p>\n

We Want to Share Dress Up Day with You<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve already enjoyed \u201cNerd Day\u201d, but here\u2019s a little sample of what you might see us wearing toward the end of every month this year:<\/p>\n
