Pet Labs

From choosing to be a vet to building #spotz I'm carrying the legacy of my dog of 17 whole wonderful years - with whom I spent more than half of my life  - playing hide and seek (for real)  - spent sleepless nights at the study table - corporated so well as my study material - spent time giggling through it all - was my best patient (not a lab rat!)  Anyone who knew me personally would ask about Spot  I can't ignore the legacy he left behind If you also have had a pet who supported you into becoming who you are, carry his or her legacy in some way or the other #veterinarian #vetstory #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #petlegacy #petstory #vetstory #entrepreneurstory Image source: IG @honouringouranimals

While everything on social media is bright let me write about Negative marketing in the vet medical profession Yes, it's common but very subtle that not many would even notice in the Veterinary clinic/hospital industry and other pet brands. I'm by no means a marketing professional but I have experienced these unhealthy tactics firsthand especially as a young female veterinarian   Ways of negative marketing : 1. Evoke negative emotions  2. Criticize competitors 3. Exaggerating problems  To influence patient/client behavior  These take various forms  1. Fear based: induce fear in the client/patient  2. Intentionally stirs discomfort to get attention  3. Coordinated inauthentic behavior through fake reviews, hindering reputation on socials (astroturfing, sockpuppeting)  What it looks like (common signs) 1. Many reviews posted in a short window with similar wording. 2. Accounts with no history or only one review - not applicable all the time . 3....

Pet owners think vets raise "good" dog breeds and I'm disappointing many 😅 International Dog Day - last post Meet Molly, our recent addition to the family ⏩She's  a cross bred fierce unpredictable old doggy who was on the street for several years during COVID. She survived the most difficult times alone although my mother managed to offer some food when possible She actually insisted us into adopting her She's our latest inclusion to the family and I'm a little proud that we decided to give her a safe home and she's very slowly becoming like Spot. Notice her dance moves in the image 😅 When possible ⏩ Feed a stray ⏩ Adopt a stray ⏩ Or atleast not harm stray 💡Any dog is a good dog no matter the breed True that vets have access to buying fancy dogs but... Let vets also raise cross bred dogs 😅🤦 #veterinarian #vetstory #vetlife #vetstory #internationaldogday #internationaldogday2025

Happy International Dog Day! Dogs = humans They can get things done, live rent free and rule the house and we'd still be okay, right? 🤣❤️ Treasure them and they will treasure you too This is my dog Spot Mc Delgado (to rhyme with our surname "Salgado" 🤣) who lived with us for 17 years. He was a protector, a real companion and a shoulder to cry on. Lots of moments were shared together with him as a family from birthdays to family meals. Was my best teacher, my patient and my study companion since O/Ls. We miss him even after 9 months 💔  but I'm glad we could give him the best possible life ever 😔😢 #internationaldogday2025
