The Veterinary Wellbeing Collective advances a coordinated approach to well-being in the veterinary profession.

Coordinated, multi-stakeholder approach necessary for veterinary profession well-being advancement.

The Veterinary Wellbeing Collective represents a unified initiative to address fragmentation in veterinary well-being efforts across the profession. Hosted by Merck Animal Health on July 29, 2025, this roundtable brought together key stakeholders for coordinated, in-person discussions examining the past, present, and future of veterinary well-being. The article synthesizes audio recordings, transcriptions, and summaries from these discussions to identify actionable priorities for systematic improvement. By consolidating diverse perspectives and experiences, the Collective aims to establish evidence-based strategies and coordinated interventions that address well-being challenges veterinarians face. This collaborative approach recognizes that isolated efforts, while valuable, cannot adequately address the complex multifactorial issues affecting veterinary professional wellness. The initiative provides a framework for stakeholders including professional organizations, educational institutions, employers, and individual practitioners to work synergistically toward sustainable well-being solutions.
