We spend a lot of time in veterinary medicine and other businesses talking about client satisfaction, and rightly so. Happy clients are the backbone of any healthy practice. But there’s another side of the equation that doesn’t get talked about enough: the cost of keeping the wrong clients. Whether it’s the chronic late-payer, the one…
There are a few things in any business, but especially in a veterinary practice, that we all accept as truth: payroll has to be met, the lights have to stay on, and marketing is necessary to grow. But there’s a quieter, more elusive cost that many veterinary practice owners overlook until it’s already taken a…
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How are we really doing in the eyes of our clients?” you’re not alone. Most veterinary practice owners I talk to know when business is steady and when reviews are positive, but they’re not always sure how to quantify client loyalty.

But “employee engagement” can feel vague if you don’t have ways to measure it. And without clear data, it’s hard to know whether your culture-building efforts are truly working. The good…
Veterinary medicine is a demanding profession. Long hours, emotional client interactions, and high-stress procedures can take a serious toll on even the most passionate teams. That’s why building a positive workplace culture isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s critical for staff retention, client satisfaction, and practice success. The good news? You don’t need unlimited…
In today’s veterinary industry, staffing challenges are one of the greatest threats to practice stability and growth.
