  • Please expand!

    Really enjoy the podcast and being exposed to ideas that show different aspects of veterinary medicine and business. Would love to see some episodes that include equine practices. I feel like they are usually behind in adopting strategies that are already old news for small animal, and therefore are facing so many challenges still in avoiding burnout, retaining employees, working more efficiently and leveraging the technical staff. Please bring people that maybe can talk on how to apply these co... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

326 - Dr. Brad Waffa | Truss Vet
Q: Do you think urgent care is a sustainable model for the long term, given market changes?
He argues there is a place for intermediate care over the next decade, driven by shifts in pet ownership, the need for efficient triage, and the potential to form robust care ecosystems that include general practice, emergency, and specialty services, while maintaining a build-for-ever approach.
326 - Dr. Brad Waffa | Truss Vet
Q: What drove you to build this organization and push innovation in urgent care?
Brad describes both a business business case and a deeply personal motivation rooted in burnout, public health background, and a desire to create a model that improves patient care without displacing the traditional relationship veterinarians have with their clients.
325 - Anthony Gatti | PetPax Co
Q: Another innovator in the pet health space you think would be a good guest for the show?
Anthony suggests Jamie Smith, CEO and co-founder of Innovative Pet Lab, highlighting her work on at-home gut health checks and cross-application of human health innovations to pets.
325 - Anthony Gatti | PetPax Co
Q: Is there a YouTube video, audio book, or a physical book that inspired you recently and you'd like to share with our listeners?
Anthony cites Yo-Yo Ma's perspective on performing as sharing something rather than proving, which shifted PetPax Co.'s approach from proving the brand to delivering value through their existing customer base.
324 - Dr. Jake Rodgers | Rodgers Veterinary Care
Q: Who is another innovator the hosts should have on the show?
Dr. Rodgers suggests Dr. Matt Asciutto, known for opening an emergency practice in Fort Collins, Colorado, focusing on staff culture and accessible emergency care, as a compelling guest to discuss scalable, humane veterinary practice models.
