CBD Compliance: Smoke and Mirrors
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a hot topic in the world today. What are the health benefits and drawbacks to CBD? Are there negative side effects to daily use? Is the presence of CBD in seemingly every corner store really necessary? One thing most people do not consider while discussing CBD is how it effects one of our most loved family members- our pets.

Bad Communication Will Stunt a Veterinary Practice's Growth
Originally Published in
Today's Veterinary Business
December 2019
When you look back at your former teachers, you realize that some people make learning more engaging and communicate concepts better than others. They all might have the same degree of knowledge, but not everyone possesses the communication skills needed to effectively share that knowledge. In the same vein, someone can be incredibly knowledgeable in a workplace setting and have transformative ideas, but the information must be effectively communicated. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

Webinar #3:
Responding to Disparaging Comments on Social Media
Tuesday, April 21, 2020 from
3:00 to 4:00 pm ET.
With today's connected society and increasing use of social media, online reviews are important to every business. Having poor reviews is stressful for veterinarians and veterinary hospitals. While the temptation to defend oneself online is strong, it is often in the best interest of the veterinarian and veterinary hospital to either not respond at all, or to post a polite request to contact the hospital. Suing clients for defamation is generally not recommended or successful. Employees could potentially be asked to sign non-disparagement agreements when they are hired but given their difficulty to enforce and possible legal outcomes, it may be better to simply ask the websites to remove employee reviews. In cases where the client did receive poor service, practices should apologize and try to repair the damage with the client. Regardless of how negative reviews are handled, clinics should be prepared to use them to identify possible problems within the clinic.

Originally Published on DVM 360
Comfort, convenience and consolidation.... These goals have become change agents in the veterinary industry, spurring new trends like cannabis use, telemedicine and "big boxing" of veterinary hospitals.
"Veterinarians are very adaptable," says Charlotte Lacroix, DVM, JD, who heads Veterinary Business Advisors, a New Jersey-based firm that consults on veterinary business and legal issues. At the 2020 Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX) in Orlando, Fla., last month, Dr. Lacroix cut through the regulations and red tape involved in these metamorphoses.
