Since the mid-1970s, K9 Carts has been serving mobility impaired pets and their owners. We have been looking to inspire the next generation of animal lovers by sponsoring a micro-scholarship for students entering the field of Veterinary Medicine.

We are proud to announce the winner of our 2018 Annual Veterinary Medicine Scholarship, Michaela Von Schenk. Below is her winning essay on Human Psychology in a Veterinary Practice. She believes in the importance of understanding human psychology that should be exhibited in veterinary medicine, like any other career, to give customers a sense of comfort and trust.

The winning highlights in her essay:

“Human psychology can contribute to a more successful veterinary practice. I would measure a successful facility by an upbeat environment, a knowledgeable yet amiable team, and a compassionate drive behind all approaches. These three contributions can inarguably lead to a more satisfied clientele.”

“When I am a veterinarian, I vow to never dismiss the value of a satisfied, content client base. Implementing this knowledge of human psychology to dilute tension will irrevocably lead to happier clients, happier pets, and a healthier veterinary workforce.”

Congratulations Michaela Von Schenk on your moving essay!
