Clinician's Brief: The Podcast

Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they discuss pressing issues impacting the veterinary profession. Veterinary prices have risen an average of 6.5% every year since 2019, and clients are paying attention. In this episode, Dr. Alyssa and Dr. Beth react to a recent AAHA article on price transparency in veterinary medicine, consider how mandatory pricing regulations in the UK might translate to US practices, and ask whether it’s time for veterinary medicine to get ahead of a trend that likely won’t stay optional for long.
