Every veterinarian has experienced burnout at one time or another. It is one of the biggest pressures on the industry, alongside student debt and suicide rates. After 12 years as an ER veterinarian, Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov was among the many veterinarians who are so burned out, they knew a change was the only option.
After so many years fighting to save animals on the frontlines, Dr. Ivan made the switch from helping animals, to helping other veterinarians. He chose to create a company instead with the focus on helping vet offices prevent burnout in the workplace.
That's why he created Galaxy Vets- a veterinary group committed to providing access to care for pets when and where they need it while supporting the mental health and well-being of our healthcare teams.

It takes support to get through life.
No matter how smart, hardworking, or “tough” a person is, we all need family, friends, and colleagues in order to successfully and happily make it through this journey we call life.
Abby Seeley knows that.
In fact, when it comes to human qualities she admires most, it’s people who simply show up for each other that Abby appreciates.
She herself embodies this quality, too!
Originally from Hershey, Pennsylvania, Abby Seeley is a third-year veterinary student at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. Prior to entering the world of vet med, she attended Penn State University where she graduated with a B.S. in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences as well as a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science.
From working part-time in the clinical skills department helping students brush up on technical and surgical skills to doing research for PennVet Working Dog Center looking at the Search-and-Rescue Dogs deployed at 9/11 and being the coordinator for the New Bolton Center Student Surgery Crew and team member with The Gambia Goat Dairy, Abby “shows up” for her community.
On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we meet vet student, Abby Seeley and learn how she makes everything look so easy!

As a child, did you ask lots of questions?
For many veterinary professionals, a desire to know how things worked (such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) came naturally when we were young. In fact, a love of learning is needed to grow and constantly improve in this field. There is always a new technology or device to try, an emerging medication to explore, and cutting-edge surgical procedure to practice.
For Dr. Fabian Rivers, curiosity played a large role in his success.
When asked what three qualities most contributed to his achievements, he answered with “curiosity, community, and composure.”
Quite fittingly, his mission is to, “Remain curious about life.”
On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we meet the amazing Dready Vet, Dr. Fabian Rivers, and he tells us about his love for vegan goat curry and how he had to explain to "Megatron's" pet parent that he was actually a she!
We love you for listening!

Veterinarian. Musician. Author. Actor.
Those are the titles Dr. Greg is known for. And though he serves on multiple boards as a consultant as well as a mentor for aspiring veterinarians, he also understands that there’s more to life than just “work.”
In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that most veterinarians work full time, often clocking more than 40 hours per week – including nights and weekends. That’s a whole lot of time dedicated to caring for others. As such, vets need to be careful not to lose their sense of self and become consumed by work identities.
Remember, you are more than your job!
Dr. Shaw explains:
“My mission in life is to inspire the world to dream in a way that transcends professional or societal norms and to create your own path and own who you were created to be. Your purpose. Your dreams. Your way.”
On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we learn about the time Dr. Greg bought a ticket to Thailand on a whim and how if he had a time machine, he would use it to go back in time to jam with Charlie Parker.

On this show, the other Dr. Jessica Turner is our guest. Veterinarian, Dr. Jessica Turner, worked for years first as an emergency vet and then as a GP. After years of balancing a career and mom life, she experienced burnout and was later diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disease that mostly affects joints. RA occurs when the immune system, which normally helps protect the body from infection and disease, attacks its own tissues. The disease causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in joints.
When faced with the possibly of long term steroid treatment and potentially ending up in a wheel chair, Dr. Jessica turned to holistic medicine to find answers. Now she's on the road to recovery and has become a passionate advocate for holistic medicine.

For millions of people (and pets) around the globe, life changed when Covid-19 hit. Before the pandemic, it was easy to book an appointment with a veterinarian. But during the scariest days of the virus outbreak, suddenly pet owners had to wait weeks before getting the veterinary care their beloved fur babies needed.
Unable to see as many patients as he normally would, Dr. Zonram Liao knew something had to be done.
Thus, Wellnergy Pets was born!
Dr. Liao explains, “I believe that pet care, at its core, starts with a proactive approach at home with pet owners. My goal is to improve the lives of people and their pets by providing the best at-home pet care in the form of high-quality pet products and supplements.”
From managing a pet’s chronic disease to helping clients avoid unnecessary trips to the vet, Wellnergy offers safe and effective solutions.
Get to know Dr. Zonram on 21 Questions with Vet Candy!
