💡 Study Shows Real Progress in Veterinary Mental Health

Merck Animal Health's fourth veterinary well-being study, conducted in collaboration with the American Veterinary Medical Association, reveals significant improvements in mental health among veterinary professionals. The study highlights high job satisfaction, a strong sense of pride in work, and an overall positive contribution to personal well-being.

The research is a testament to ongoing efforts to support the mental health and career satisfaction of veterinary teams.

🛡️ Combating 4 Harmful Workplace Mindsets

However, sometimes toxic work cultures creep up into a practice if you do not stay vigilant in preventing negative habits.

🐶 What Pet Owners Really Want

The Pet Owner Attitude Survey was fielded to better understand animal owners’ attitudes and experiences. The results are eye-opening. They indicate that some of the dramatic and far-reaching proposals pitched as solutions to access issues—such as a virtual veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) or the creation of a new midlevel position between the credentialed veterinary technician and the veterinarian—would, in fact, be met with resistance from pet owners.

🏡 Why Buy the Practice Premises?

Every vet practice has premises to operate out of that they either lease from the premises owner or own themselves. Occasionally, a practice owner that is leasing is given the opportunity to buy their premises at a reasonable/fair price. Here are some things to consider when this opportunity arises.
