The Dog
New short film aims to bring long-needed attention to the veterinarian mental health crisis.
The Dog is a powerful short film, featuring Grey’s Anatomy actor Kate Walsh, exploring the often-unspoken challenges and mental health struggles faced by those in the veterinary profession. Recognizing the importance of bringing this global issue to light, IndeVets is one of only six key supporters of this film by award-winning Australian filmmaker Danielle Baynes.
IndeVets is honored to help bring this incredible resource to the veterinary industry to facilitate open discussions around mental well-being.
