Show Notes

Listen to this episode of Why Do Pets Matter with filmmaker Grace Galletti, creator of the documentary The Weight They Carry. We talk candidly about the mental health challenges facing veterinarians and their teams, the myths that fuel misunderstanding, and how pet parents and practices can support each other with more empathy, transparency, and care.

Grace shares why she set out to tell this story, what she learned while filming inside busy clinics, and how we can open healthier conversations around grief, burnout, and the human–animal bond. If you work in vet med or love someone who does, this one matters.
