Truss Vet Core Values Statements:

• Dare to Care:Doing what is easy isnt always right. Doing what is right isnt always easy. So we show up. We give a sh!t. Even when clients dont deserve our best, even when a conversation is uncomfortable, we approach situations with courage, empathy, and authenticity. We care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care.
• The Details Matter:Our standards are reflected in every detail, and those details matter. The client will never forget the hug you gave when they said goodbye to their best friend. That blanket may mean the difference between an hour of comfort for a pet versus an hour of fear. The smell or site of a dirty rug may mean the difference between a great first impression versus skepticism of our entire team.
• Truss One Another:To be accountable to the success of the team means were accountable to the success of each other. We have our teammates backs. We catch each other's mistakes. We challenge each other to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.
• Bowl Half Full:Your dog doesnt go through life believing his bowl is half-empty. We see the good in others and in each other, we see opportunities in challenges, we meet discomfort with good humor, and when we find closed doors, we kick them open or make new ones.
