Technician-led Nutritional Advice Sessions
It’s no secret that veterinary technicians play a crucial role in the landscape of pet care. While technicians continue to specialize in many areas of expertise, a significant and often overlooked opportunity lies within pet nutrition. By empowering veterinary technicians to lead nutritional advice sessions, this can create opportunities for exceptional care that positively impact clinic revenue and technician engagement.
The key lies in unleashing the full potential of veterinary technicians through the creation of a dynamic system that efficiently maximizes the capabilities of both veterinarians and technicians. Nutritional advice sessions play a role in the quality care that supports both pet well-being and the overall wellbeing of the veterinary profession. -

The future of veterinary technicians can take many forms as each practitioner customizes their own professional development and carve their own path.

The Impact of Canine Atopic Dermatitis
Dermatology cases comprise approximately 20 percent or more of a veterinarian’s caseload. It’s not surprising given that dog owners most commonly recognize symptoms related to their pet’s skin. In fact, one in every 10 dogs can be affected by a disease called atopic dermatitis. There is no cure for this disease, and management is lifelong, often involving expensive, daily medications. Our panelists will discuss this issue and how to best counsel their clients through dermatology-related care, including the
positive impact nutrition can have. -
Mentorship and the New Veterinarian
Due to the unique technical skills and rigorous occupational demands, veterinarians are particularly suited to benefit from professional mentorship within the industry. Mentorship can serve as a mutually beneficial relationship between colleagues, often leading to additional support within professional development, retention, resiliency, and personal wellness. Cultivating these relationships is a valuable investment for new graduates and practitioners early in their career, as they begin to define their own
best practices and continue to build their personal networks. -

discuss strategies to support their health. -
Feline Behavioral Health and Urinary Disease

Feline behavior impacts each animal’s urinary health, alongside other environmental factors and small differences that can differentiate from sickness and wellness. In this podcast episode, we will address the important connection between feline behavior and urinary health as veterinary clinics work to counsel their patients about the intersection of these factors within the lifestyles of their cats.
