Incorporation into everyday practice
One of the most important reasons Veterinary ethics are taught to veterinarians is to expose these individuals to the willingness and responsibility they will need to be understanding of achieving with the cases they are exposed to. Veterinary ethics prepares veterinarians and veterinary staff for adequate and professional conversations with clients, and other professionals. Signatures for treatment plans, and invoices are also the result of these ethics, as legal cases have gotten involved. Another important subject that these ethics prepare veterinary staff for is discussing with the actual clients about their recommended treatment for the clients pet. This is very important training that veterinarians will go through while in school. Determining best treatment plans and outcomes, while also communicating these to the clients to keep them understanding is the only way to practice veterinary medicine.

Although these ethics provide a safe environment for the animals being treated, the work environment for veterinarians and staff is not always desired. The Covid-19 pandemic (as mentioned above) has brought on a significant number of new patients to hospitals all over the world, while schools are producing staff at a rate that cannot keep up with the animal population growth. The large growth in an industry that is not staffed sufficiently has lead many hospitals to overwork staff leading to burnout. Statistics prove that from the beginning of the pandemic in January 2020 to the time when businesses began opening again, financial growth reached up to 11%. Significant growth requires additional work, keeping up with patient flow, cleaning, and managing. Which with limited individuals meeting employment requirements, it has been hard for the industry to keep up with.
