TAWAS ANIMAL HOSPITALS CORE BEHAVIORS 

Put pets first. Our first priority is always with the health, happiness, and comfort of our patients. We have designed the Tawas Animal Hospital experience with the animal’s perspective in mind. And our care advice is based only on what is best for the pet.  This has lead us to value our Fear Free Credentials and use the Fear Free Techniques in every appointment with every patient from the Front Desk to the Doctors.

Trust the parent. We believe that caring for an animal is a partnership built on mutual trust and humility. We trust parents to make the right decisions for themselves and their pets and invite them to actively participate in care alongside us.   Integrity in essential in our hospital, meaning doing the right thing even when no one is watching. We take great pride in our AAHA certification and practice the AAHA standards during every treatment or service.

Authentically human. Caring for a pet involves the full spectrum of emotions, from joy to grief. We must lean into openness, empathy, and compassionate listening. We know when to be fun, and when to be serious. At all times, we foster supportive, positive, and authentically human hospital culture.   We invest over $10,000.00 a year on culture, communication and leadership training throughout our hospital. We are committed to kindness, compassion, empathy, and inclusion throughout our hospital.

Good neighbors. Although our business is growing, we retain the attitude and spirit of a neighborhood vet. We welcome people in. We get to know our clients’ families and are proud to play an active role in our local communities.  Being a Hero in our community is a privilege that our team is humbly proud of.

Shake things up. We are always looking for a better way. In an industry that hasn’t seen a lot of innovation, we are experimenting with new ways of delivering care, delighting customers, providing unexpected human (and animal) touches, and infusing our hospital with fresh ideas.

These core behaviors are extremely important at Tawas Animal Hospital. We trust our team to exhibit these behaviors, bring each other up through these behaviors and support each other. These behaviors shape the medicine we practice and the team we are and we could not be more proud.
