More vets across New Zealand are reporting a surge in poor behaviour from customers, particularly over billing. New reports claim staff in customer facing roles are experiencing pet owners trying to emotionally blackmail vets over rising costs. NZ Veterinary Association CEO Kevin Bryant says costs are going up everywhere, and customers are taking this out on staff "There's a huge amount of confusion in the public arena between the fact that we have a heavily subsidised human health system and a totally unsubsidised animal health system, and I think that's definitely part of it."

In this episode, I wanted to share my comprehensive guide on how to build a world-class referral program for your veterinary practice. Referrals are truly the lifeblood of so many successful clinics, but the reality is that most practices don't have a structured system in place to maximize this powerful growth channel. I'll walk you through why referrals matter so much, the data behind their impact, and — most importantly — how you can create a referral engine that consistently brings in high-quality clients and strengthens your reputation in the community. We'll start by talking about the foundation: delivering remarkable client experiences that naturally inspire word-of-mouth. I'll share actionable ideas for creating those memorable “wow” moments, from handwritten thank-you notes to personalized video messages and unique welcome gifts. Then, I'll break down how to skillfully and confidently ask for referrals without feeling awkward or “salesy,” including scripts and open-ended questions that actually get results. Plus, I'll cover how to make referrals easy and trackable — using everything from referral cards to digital tools and pre-written messages your clients can share with friends. But it doesn't stop there. I'll dive into designing compelling referral incentives that motivate both your clients and their friends, and I'll show you how to expand your referral network beyond just clients by partnering with local businesses like groomers, trainers, and pet stores. We'll also discuss the importance of following up and recognizing your top referrers, tracking and optimizing your program, and getting your whole team on board for maximum impact. To top it off, I'll share ideas for running referral campaigns and events that really boost engagement and excitement. By the end of this episode, you'll have a step-by-step blueprint for building a referral program that's not only effective but also sustainable for the long haul. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your existing program to the next level, you'll find practical strategies you can implement right away. If you have your own referral success story or need help getting started, I'd love to hear from you — let's work together to build thriving veterinary practices!
We all love pets. In fact, countless studies have suggested that the company of a furry friend might even be beneficial to our mental health. That said, some pets out there are a little strange, and their owners have gone way beyond what can be considered a ‘normal' relationship with their animal friends. So, today, we'll be meeting some crazy pets with even stranger owners, including a chicken raised for meat that's now convinced he's a dog, a woman with 28,000 cats, and a handful of pet owners who refuse to say goodbye to their dearly-departed fur-babies.

In this essential training discussion, we address a common but critical question from a Malinois owner: "Is my training work being undone when my fear-reactive dog practices reactive behaviors in our own backyard?" A 3-year-old spayed Belgian Malinois displays fear-reactive behavior both on walks and at home behind the fence. When dogs or people pass by the yard, the dog reacts, and when these "threats" move away, it reinforces the dog's belief that their reactive behavior "worked" - creating a cycle of self-reinforcement that undermines all training progress. | Links mentioned: How We Manage Dogs in Our Home: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/14 | Dealing with Dominant and Aggressive Dogs: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/137 | Leash Reactivity with Michael Ellis: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/165 | Leash Reactivity with Tyler Muto: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/15 | Remote Collar Training for the Pet Owner: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/94

Being a veterinarian is about caring for animals… right? Increasingly, many vets feel their role is shifting toward being a therapist for pet owners, and it's taking a toll. In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, explore the growing emotional labor demands placed on veterinary professionals. From helping clients navigate grief, guilt, and financial stress, to managing unrealistic expectations fueled by social media, veterinarians are spending more and more time counseling pet owners instead of focusing exclusively on clinical care. Dr. Ward reflects on the hidden burnout risk of constant emotional support, while Beckie shares how technicians also shoulder the weight of client emotions, often without formal training or resources. They discuss whether veterinary schools and practices are adequately preparing teams for this counseling role, the blurred boundaries between empathy and overextension, and how this shift impacts mental health, job satisfaction, and retention. Most importantly, they offer strategies for setting healthy boundaries while still delivering compassionate and effective care. If you've ever felt more like a life coach than a clinician—or wondered why today's veterinary job feels so emotionally heavy—this episode will resonate.

Silver Linings for Senior Dogs – The Rescue Ranch Giving Aging Pups a Second Chance Every cloud has a silver lining—and for senior dogs in Bend, Oregon, that silver lining is Silver Linings Rescue Ranch. Founded by Erica Psaltis, this heartwarming sanctuary is dedicated to giving older dogs the love, dignity, and second chance they so deeply deserve. After adopting a senior dog herself, Erica discovered just how much joy, wisdom, and companionship these “seasoned souls” bring. That experience led her to create a safe haven for older dogs—especially those left behind when their owners pass away or can no longer care for them. Located in the heart of Dog Town USA (yes, that's a real nickname for pet-loving Bend!), Silver Linings Rescue Ranch is more than just a place—it's a movement. In a city known for its iconic dog parade and dog-friendly culture, Erica is filling a gap in rescue work, focusing on dogs who are too often overlooked because of their age. This episode is a touching tribute to the power of second chances, the magic of senior dogs, and one woman's mission to make sure every dog's golden years truly shine. Grab a tissue—and maybe your own senior pup—and listen in.

This week, Jason is joined by veterinarian, entrepreneur, and podcast host, Dr. Josie Horchak! Josie has over 15 years of experience in the vet field and is a renowned vet for the exceptional care she provides her patients. Most recently, Dr. Josie stepped away from owning her own clinics to focus on providing quality concierge vet services to a smaller group of clients in Nashville with her company, The Concierge Vet. With this company, she offers at-home wellness and sick visits, telemedicine consults, and more, all at the comfort of the patient's home. In addition to work as a vet, Dr. Josie added podcast host to her resume when she started In The Vet's Office. Dr. Josie opens up about her journey through the demanding world of veterinary medicine—from the years of schooling and financial investment it requires, to the lesser-known pay gap between vets and human doctors. She breaks down the typical career path in the field, the emotional and physical toll it can take, and what truly drives someone to choose this profession. Dr. Josie also shares what every pet owner should understand before stepping into a clinic, the difference between owning a practice and working in one, and how she built her own concierge-style pet care model. She discusses turning her anxiety into a strength, why pet insurance is a must from day one, and the overlooked importance of dental health in animals. Plus, she offers heartfelt advice on navigating tough end-of-life decisions for pets and answers listener questions on all things furry and four-legged from the Money Mafia community. Dr Josie reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
