    In this episode, we sit down with Casey Shaeffer, General Manager of Pet Services at VetVerifi, to dive into one of the most overlooked but business-critical challenges in the pet care industry: vaccine management.

Casey shares how VetVerifi is streamlining this process and helping pet care pros operate with greater confidence, compliance, and efficiency. We also explore Casey’s unique journey from a background in finance and technology to leading a fast-growing solution at the intersection of pet care and data. He unpacks what makes vaccine management so complex, how VetVerifi built a network to solve it, and why solving this problem unlocks better experiences for pet owners, providers, and pets alike.
