This week’s podcast is a fan request about the concerns one breeder has about the “corporate takeover” of veterinary medicine and how that is affecting her puppy owners:
“What information and resources do you use to help your puppy buyers, especially new/first time dog owners, screen and select a veterinarian?
In the past couple of years, and seems like more lately, I get these questions from my puppy buyers that their vet told them something that ranged from harmless but not really accurate to so aggressively incorrect it felt like a scam and even a danger to the puppy. I know stuff can get lost in translation, I know some medical professionals are better than others, and I know vets and their staff are stressed and overworked. But I also fear the rise in this issue is related to venture capital takeovers and it's going to get worse…
Since it feels like a trend, and especially because I have a breed suitable for first-time dog owners, I would like to be more organized and proactive in providing information on how to vet a vet. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and suggestions.
PS - maybe this would be a good podcast episode?”
In this episode I explore:
- How the corporatization of vet medicine affects puppy owners
- Coaching puppy owners to advocate for their puppies at the vet’s office for routine care
- Finding a good vet when there’s a major veterinary problem with a puppy or dog.
