For this holiday special episode, the Dogtor Bros discuss the realities of working through the winter holidays in veterinary medicine. We kick things off by checking in on everyone’s New Year’s resolutions before unpacking what the holidays look like at every stage of a veterinary career, from vet school to life in practice.

We talk about studying through breaks, externships over the holidays, working Christmas and New Year’s, ER holiday shifts, travel challenges, and what it’s like when clinics still have to run while the rest of the world slows down. The conversation also covers how clinics prepare for common holiday-related cases, how far ahead vets plan (or don’t), and how holiday work impacts family life, relationships, and personal traditions.

Adam takes the lead as Doc of the Day with Chris, Brandon, and JT jumping in after an opener about everyone’s very first job. From there, we get into one of the toughest and most universal challenges in vet med: learning when—and how—to say no.

We talk through the situations every vet faces:
• Telling staff “no” on work-ins, late appointments, or overstepping
• Setting boundaries with clients pushing for meds, squeezing in appointments, or demanding inappropriate care
• Navigating pressure from bosses to pick up extra shifts or take on unsustainable workloads
• How to approach these moments without burning bridges—and without burning yourself out
