Kateryna dreamed of veterinary medicine as a child, when she took her pets to the clinic for preventive treatment. I always wanted to be able to help my tails when I grow up. Over time, the desire to provide help not only to their pets, but also to all those who need it appeared. It was then that the final decision was made to link mine with veterinary medicine. This is an extremely difficult and stressful profession, but it never lets you get "sad", you are always on the move.

Veterinary medicine is a constant development, training, acquisition of new skills and professional development. The most difficult thing in this profession is to make quick decisions without time to think, it is to inform the owners of animals that their pet is dying, or to inform the owners that the option of euthanasia should be considered. It is difficult to accept that medicine is not omnipotent and there are situations when we are unable to help and cure the tail.

I believe that the professions of a groomer and a veterinarian are combined by constant work with animals and communication with their owners. Both the veterinarian and the groomer are interested in ensuring that their client is healthy and that all procedures are carried out comfortably. For this, people of these two professions must distinguish where is normal and where is pathology. Groomers, like veterinarians, do not always deal with completely healthy animals, but also with animals that have certain health problems that the owner may not always notice. That is why we are often contacted by pet owners on the recommendation of a groomer, because the groomer has noticed a problem with their pet's ears, skin, or, for example, teeth, that needs diagnosis and treatment.
