PetVet Care Centers’ Post

Ever explored “financial triage”? It’s like medical triage, but for client finances, and it helps veterinary teams & clients in several key ways: 🔹 Avoid cost surprises: Helps your team discuss costs upfront with clients, preventing the “I didn’t know it would cost this much” scenario at checkout/discharge. 🔹 Awareness & sensitivity to budget constraints: Help your team understand and respect clients’ individual financial situations, which vary greatly and exist along a spectrum of affordability. 🔹 Identify appropriate payment options: Helps the veterinary team find the optimal payment solutions for each client’s unique budget. 🔹 Reduces judgmentalness & erroneous assumptions: Reminds teams that affordability isn’t just about “can or can’t pay” or “will or won’t pay.” Exploring the vast “in-between” with clients reduces tension, fear, defensiveness, and conflict for both sides. Interested in learning more? Don’t miss Aimee St.Arnaud at the PetSmart Charities booth at #VMX, where she’ll share more details about financial triage and how to use it to enhance relationship-centered at your clinic.

Find us at VMX. We will be in booth #367 for this vital discussion on excellence in care and the crucial link between managing financial success in every client interaction and achieving better outcomes in both business and professional mental health. Looking forward to contributing and learning from this important conversation!

Postoperative regurgitation is a common concern after general anesthesia in dogs, especially those with short noses or undergoing certain surgeries. The increased risk of pneumonia makes this a critical issue for veterinary medicine. 😷🐕 Our groundbreaking study focuses on a promising solution! Methylnaltrexone (MNTX), known in human medicine, inhibits opioid effects in the intestines while preserving pain relief properties. We aim to define MNTX metabolism rate in healthy dogs, paving the way for a future study to evaluate its efficacy in reducing postoperative regurgitation. 💊🩺 Our non-profit relies on philanthropy, and your support can make a difference!

November is #NationalPetCancerAwarenessMonth. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1 in 4 dogs and 1 in 5 cats will develop cancer in their lifetimes. Losing a beloved pet is often an emotionally devastating experience. Yet as a society, we do not recognize how painful pet loss can be and how much it can impair our emotional and physical health. At GrieveWell, we believe that all grief is valid. Here is an article from Dr. Gerald S. Post, a board-certified specialist in veterinary oncology, on 10 warning signs of cancer in both dogs and cats - https://lnkd.in/djXPEcJh. Please understand that these are just potential warning signs and should not panic you but prompt a visit to your veterinarian. #petloss #youarenotalone #findyourvillage #askforhelp #petlossgriefisreal #lossofalovedone #lossofabestfriend #furryfriends #healingjourney #grievewella2 #nonprofit

August 15 is National Check the Chip Day! Did you know.... According to AVMA: 1 in 3 family pets will get lost. Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their guardians. Microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their guardians. But only 6 out of 10 microchips are registered. So, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Hospital Association (AAHA) joined together to create "Check the Chip Day" to promote microchipping and updating registration information. Tails of Hope provides microchipping at the time of spay/neuter. Call us for your appointment at: 724-346-4673 Read more about Microchips on our website: TailsOfHopeWPA.org Or, ask your regular veterinarian about getting your pet microchipped. Always remember to register and keep your pet's chip updated! The microchip itself only holds a unique identification number. If your pet gets lost a shelter or clinic will attempt to look up this number on an online database. If your chip isn’t registered or your information not up to date – then you cannot be contacted if your pet gets picked up. @tailsofhopewpa #August #ChecktheChipDay #microchip #veterinary #dogs #cats #pets #lostpets #family #reunite #pethealth #furryfriends #furbabies #furkids #awareness #petsarefamily #community #love #nonprofit #donate #give #giveback
