The data: These are the most common and costly conditions veterinarians see
Check out the data on common and costly conditions. How can you help clients and pets avoid them?
The most common and the most costly: These are the conditions that occupy a veterinary team's day and collective psyches. They're the medical problems that crop up every week, sometimes every day. And they're the illnesses and diseases that leave clients gasping when they get a treatment plan and see the bottom line in dollars and cents.
But the chance of pets winding up with these common or expensive conditions is also reduced with the right balance of prudence and wellness care throughout a pet's life. Look at these lists and think about what you can do with every visit to encourage clients to help their pets avoid common conditions. Also consider how recommending pet insurance and third-party payment plans might help clients cover costly issues when they do arise.
