Trusting relationships between veterinary professionals and clients are important for the well-being of people and the ultimate health of their animals. Yet, microaggressions pose a threat to these relationships. Defined as slights or indignities wielded against people with marginalized identities, microaggressions inflict a unique form of harm that reaffirms negative stereotypes enmeshed in systems of racism, sexism, classism, and beyond. In this article, we explore how microaggressions work and how they are applicable in veterinary settings. We also offer initial suggestions for veterinary professionals and educators to better understand and counteract their damage in the profession.
