If you are a veterinary professional that wants to improve the lives of your patients and their people, then the Partners for Healthy Pets initiative was designed specifically with you in mind.
After the new AAHA-AVMA Canine and Feline Preventive Healthcare Guidelines were introduced, Dr. Elizabeth Alton was committed to implementing them in her practice at Green Mountain Animal Hospital in South Burlington, Vermont.
"We received some valuable feedback from our clients when we invited them to use The Opportunity survey tool,” comments George Bailey, Practice Manager at the Stratham-Newfields Veterinary Hospital (SNVH) in Newfields, New Hampshire.
Michigan Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) CEO Karlene Belyea knows when she’s stumbled upon something good. “I love how you can go to the Partners for Healthy Pets (PHP) website and get practice tools for marketing and communications."
Karli Carter doesn’t miss any of our Facebook posts, and she’s happy she doesn’t. Ms. Carter is a certified veterinary practice manager at Payson Family Pet Hospital in Payson, UT and their practice follows the PHP Facebook page, Pet Wellness Pulse.
How do you organize a 28-member veterinary healthcare team to speak with one voice in implementing the AAHA-AVMA Preventive Healthcare Guidelines? “For our practice, the key was to conduct a series of effective team meetings."
“The ‘Partners’ suite of tools for developing pet healthcare plans made a challenging task manageable and ensured that our plans would be properly done from day-one and well accepted by our clients,” Dr. Delaney says.
“If I had to rely on doctors for website content, I’d still be waiting,” says Heidi Nelson, practice manager for Driggs Veterinary Clinic in Driggs, Idaho.
The Cat Doctor, an all-feline AAHA practice in Philadelphia, utilized The Opportunity online survey tool to strengthen and improve an already successful practice that has been serving cat owners since 1983.
“We try to walk the talk,” says Ralph Johnson, Executive Director of the CVMA. “We’ve reviewed all of the PHP tools and we try to use every venue of ours to promote the PHP message that yearly checkups are essential to all patients’ health."
Dr. Deana McReynolds led the initiative at the Broadway Veterinary Hospital and Laser Surgery Center in Seattle, Washington to become an AAFP-certified Cat Friendly Practice (CFP).
“I appreciate Partners for Healthy Pets (PHP) for the steady, consistent information,” says Dr. Vince Obsitnik of The Animal Medical Clinic of of Peachtree City and Fairburn, GA.
When asked to describe the Partners for Healthy Pets website, Dr. Katie Roberts of Lone Mountain Veterinary Hospital says, "it's a goldmine for us." Dr. Roberts has been an associate veterinarian for over five years at the Carson City, NV practice.
“Our website is a virtual front door through which prospective clients judge our practice every day,” comments Dr. Stewart Silverman of Melrose Animal Clinic (MAC) in Melrose, Massachusetts.
Drs. Julie and Jon Woodman have owned Town & Country Veterinary Services for 18 years and preventive healthcare is one of their top priorities. “We’d rather see happy, healthy pets."
