Vetlife helped me when I really was in need! Thank you Vetlife you really do help save lives :)

Rory at vet life has been brilliant, a truly brilliant person for helping me and going above and beyond to help me at a time in need.

In the spirit of being more open about about mental health. Just had my first chat with VetLife about a really upsetting case 2 months into my career as a vet. Can't recommend them enough, such lovely people and wonderful to talk to someone who has experience in a veterinary setting. #vetlife #bekind

I can't thank these guys enough for the amazing support they've given me. #breakthestigma

Amazing supportive service...it was hard making that first call but I'm glad I did.

Amazing support. Im training to an RVN when I finish my CIM course, thank you 😊 for your support. Just talking helps.
