May 16, 2022 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MB

April 18, 2022 12:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

With so much attention being paid to veterinary wellbeing over the past few years, we all know by now that a person's health goes far beyond just the physical. Not only does mental wellness have an impact on overall health, but so do the everyday stresses of life—from legal to financial to personal and everything in between. More and more, employers are realizing that personal problems don't necessarily stay personal. They inevitably bleed into work and affect job performance, morale, produc...

48. When Media Calls, Part 1: Confident Communication is Key

April 04, 2022 12:43 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MB

Veterinary professionals are, on the whole, an introverted bunch—so when it comes to talking to the media, many would rather express anal glands or tell an owner their beloved Princess Sophia is obese than be interviewed for the news. But with the population of pet owners growing larger every day, and the volume of unreliable sources increasing exponentially, it is more important than ever to ensure the public is getting accurate information from the actual experts. In this episode, we're j...

March 21, 2022 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

Although egregious animal cruelty is easy to spot, there are more subtle forms of neglect and abuse that can be more difficult to define—even when you are familiar with a species' typical behaviors and normal health measures. But how do identify abuse in those animals you rarely, if ever, work with?  Even so, most veterinary professionals know it when they see it. They just need to pay attention to their instincts. In this episode, we are joined by Drs. Dennis Summers, Ohio's state veterin...

2022 MIDWEST VETERINARY CONFERENCE PREVIEW SERIES When it comes to emergencies, veterinary professionals need to be able to think on their feet and make fast decisions.

It's certainly not news: Rural veterinarians are in short supply, growing ever more scarce as new graduates opt to practice in a bustling metropolis, where pets are plentiful and pay is higher. But for a select few, serving in a rural area—where everyone knows everyone, life is simpler, and community is important—has infinitely more appeal. In this episode, Dr. Scott Pendleton of Heritage Veterinary Clinic in Hopewell, Ohio, recounts his experiences as a rural veterinarian, what's changed o...

35. Finding Safe Harbor: Online Refuge for Veterinarians

August 09, 2021 13:20 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

They say it's a small world, but it's getting more and more difficult to stand out from the crowd. Small, independent business owners have to work harder than ever to set themselves apart from big corporations in order to attract not only clients, but staff members.

Dr. Mia Cary, CEO of Pride VMC, is one of many on a mission to change that. Over the past year, she's joined us on...
