SINGAPORE - After spending five years as a veterinary nurse, Ms Adrielle Heng decided to leave in March this year.

The reason: demanding work schedules, pressure from pet owners and working overtime almost every day, among others."It is a norm in this profession to work on an empty stomach and without toilet breaks to meet the daily demands. With a shortage of staff, we can go home on time just once in a while."are among the many reasons why more professionals are facing burnout and choosing to leave, say those in the industry.

AVS, a cluster of the National Parks Board, observed a 15 per cent increase in the number of dog licences issued, from about 70,000 in 2019 to some 81,000 last year. She added that many veterinary professionals are educated overseas, with 50 per cent or less returning to Singapore after their graduation.

SVA president Chow Haoting said the lack of career progression is another reason why people leave the industry. He said:"We love the work, but it's taking a big toll… Improving public perception and understanding of what vets do and the training they undergo will have a more immediate impact, so that vets do not experience burnout. cannot afford to lose more vets."
