Mission
The mission of Ethical Veterinary is threefold:
-
To provide animal caregivers with an alternative to business-centered veterinary care.
-
To provide high quality medicine and a comfortable veterinary experience for companion animals.
-
To promote animal welfare education in the community and your home.
Specifically:
-
We strongly urge spay/neuter and rescue/adoption in order to reduce the number
of animals (a staggering 4-6 million) that are destroyed annually for population
control. We also encourage adoption to avoid patronizing a devolving but ever-profitable
purebred industry; we provide information and guidance on the
predictable genetic ailments these animals frequently suffer on a massive scale
for the sake of superficial characteristics. We offer a 10% lifelong discount off
every exam for rescue or shelter-adopted animals.
-
We promote progressive veterinary medicine that puts science, disease risk data,
and the patient's natural interests before business, convention, or cosmetics. For
this reason, we do not perform or condone excessive vaccination, overmedication,
convenience euthanasia, declawing, ear cropping, or cosmetic tail docking.
-
We understand the emotional depth of animals, engage in only the gentlest of
handling, and treat your canine and feline family members with the same respect
we treat humans.
-
We are committed to lobbying animal protection legislation at the local, state,
and federal level.
We'd like to thank our amazing, conscientious, and ultra-caring clientele for
supporting our work - we are so fortunate to spend our days doing what we love in
such great company!
