Sick As A Dog is shining a light on a crisis that’s making the people who care for our animals very sick, and in some cases it's killing them. Veterinarians signed up to save animals, they didn’t realise they would be the ones who need saving.

From mental health, burnout, and suicide to client abuse, working conditions, and critical staff shortages – they need help. It is a whole of community issue, that without change could have dire consequences for us all.

Whether you have a pet, wear wool, drink lattes, enjoy a steak or like bird watching, this is about you and for you. Begin to understand the issues, note the solutions, and discover how you might make a difference too.
