As a profession, we can’t ignore the fact that fewer and fewer pet owners are taking their pets to the veterinarian. Recent studies have validated our gut feelings as to why owners are using us only for animals that are sick and don’t get better, have injuries from accidents, or need procedures required by law. It’s just not worth the “hurt to the pet” or the “hassle to the owner” to bring pets to the veterinarian.
During this web conference, Dr. Marty Becker will solve this issue for you: “Luckily, there is not only an answer to declining veterinary visits but a way to ensure that pet owners think of veterinarians as the true pet health expert and, moreover, say yes to our professional recommendations: Fear Free veterinary visits. Simply put, you just have to take a pet’s emotional well-being in one hand and physical well-being in the other. Other professions such as pediatric dentists have done it, and we have to treat Fear Free like an urgent obligation and an unprecedented opportunity.”
