Why Accountability Matters at Mustcare Vets: Our Promise to You and Your Pets

At Mustcare Vets, we don’t just care for animals—we take full responsibility for their well-being, just like you do. We believe that caring for pets goes beyond basic check-ups and treatments. It means being there for you through every decision, big or small, and making sure we’re doing the very best for your furry family member. 🐾

One of the ways we do this is by living by a principle called Above the Line accountability. Let us explain how this works and what it means for you as a pet owner.

What Does Above and Below the Line Mean?


It’s easy to point fingers when things go wrong or make excuses when a problem arises. That’s operating
Below the Line. At Mustcare Vets, we do the opposite. We stay Above the Line, which means we take ownership, face challenges head-on, and find solutions.

For us, it’s not just about treating your pet—it’s about doing what’s right for them every step of the way.

What Does This Mean for You?

  1. Total Transparency
    When you trust us with your pet’s care, we believe you deserve the full picture. We don’t sugarcoat diagnoses, hide treatment options, or dance around costs. We’re upfront with you, because being clear and honest helps you make the best decisions for your pet’s health.
  2. Proactive Care, Always
    You shouldn’t have to wait until something goes wrong before taking action. At Mustcare Vets, we believe in preventing problems before they become emergencies. We’ll work with you on wellness plans that keep your pet healthy long-term, rather than just treating issues as they arise.
  3. Taking Ownership of Your Pet’s Health
    When you come to us, you’re not just another client. We see you, we hear you, and we take responsibility for your pet’s care. If something doesn’t go to plan, we won’t hide behind excuses or shift the blame. We’ll face it together and work to make things right—every time.

What Does This Mean for Us?

  1. A Team Culture of Responsibility
    At Mustcare Vets, our team holds each other accountable. We don’t let problems fester. If something goes wrong, we don’t point fingers. Instead, we ask: What can we do to fix this? This approach not only improves how we work but also enhances the care we provide for your pets.
  2. Continuous Improvement for Your Pet’s Benefit
    No clinic is perfect, but we’re committed to learning and growing with every challenge. Mistakes happen. But here’s the difference: when they do, we reflect, we adjust, and we come back stronger. Your pet deserves the best, and we’re always working to be better for them.
  3. Collaboration for Better Care
    We believe that great pet care is a team effort. No one here works in isolation—our vets, nurses, and support staff collaborate to ensure that your pet gets the best possible care. We’re constantly learning from each other to serve you and your pet with excellence.

Why We Do Things Differently

Other clinics may treat pets like patients to diagnose and discharge. That’s not us. At Mustcare Vets, we go deeper. We don’t just want to treat your pet’s symptoms—we want to understand their story, get to the root of the problem, and provide compassionate, lasting care.

Our Above the Line accountability means that we’re always pushing ourselves to do what’s right, not what’s easy. It’s about having the difficult conversations, taking responsibility, and always putting your pet’s wellbeing first.

So, the next time you walk through our doors, know that we’re not just here to fix a problem—we’re here to build a relationship. We’ll be honest with you, we’ll take care of your pet like they’re our own, and we’ll be there every step of the way, owning the process and ensuring the best outcome.

Because at Mustcare Vets, accountability isn’t just something we talk about—it’s how we do things. And that makes all the difference.
