It is more than disconcerting to call on your well established & longstanding vet & be confronted with a ‘greeting’ saying that they are closed for the day because of STAFF SHORTAGES. Wow. This was a practice that was open during the height of COVID — albeit with strict protocols. Now, they are intermittently closed because of staff shortages.
Well this happened to us this past Thursday. Rowen was sick & needed to be seen, ASAP. They were closed & the message said to contact a EMERGENCY SERVICE. We did — & it was NOT CHEAP! Not thrilled.
This is getting out of control.
A busy, successful veterinary practice impacted by staff shortages.
This is ALL I hear wherever I go. “We are short staffed“.
Where did they all go? Something is not right — BUT it is way above my pay grade to try figure what it is.
