At Instinct, “Act with grace, not teeth” isn’t just something we say—it’s something we strive to live every day, across every product decision, support interaction, and Slack message. It means giving the benefit of the doubt. Choosing kindness over ego. And remembering there's a human on the other side—whether it’s a teammate or an ER vet juggling half a dozen critical cases. In a veterinary hospital, grace might look like calmly talking a panicked client through next steps or showing up for a teammate who's running on fumes. Here at Instinct, it looks like a real veterinary professional answering your urgent support ticket—someone who’s been in your shoes and knows how much is on the line. 🧡 However you practice grace in your corner of vet med, we’re right here with you.

🩺 What does “Standards of Care” actually mean in veterinary medicine? For some, it’s a legal term. For others, it’s best practice. But ask a room full of veterinarians, and you’ll probably get a dozen different answers. That gap is something we couldn’t ignore. What if veterinary teams had a single, trusted resource with clear, evidence-based guidance—fast, practical, and built for real-world decision-making? That’s why we're launching Standards of Care. More than a name, it’s a commitment to delivering the clinical support veterinary teams need today. Why now? And what does it mean for vet med? Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dGV7hYA7
