Welcome back! In this season 4 opener, Peter & Phil return to discuss the ever-changing cost of veterinary care debate and the economic impact COVID had on veterinary practices. Peter provides an in-depth analysis of the current economic landscape in veterinary medicine, highlighting how the pandemic has led to slower business and increased prices.

  • Consumer Response to Rising Costs: Phil leads a conversation on how pet owners are responding to the heightened costs of veterinary care, including instances of pushback and how practices are managing these challenges.

  • Statistical Overview: Peter delves into relevant statistics that shed light on the trends and challenges faced by veterinary practices in the post-COVID era.
