a thought that i had a long time ago – in about 1721 – when vaccination numbers were also falling: – if we could get the vaccine companies to club together [ in proportion to their market share] and finance a NATIONAL TV/radio/other media advertising campaign explaining the benefits of canine and feline vaccination [ like children !!] , i…[Read more]

Just joined Platinum and in process of switching vaccines from MSD to Zoetis. Has anyone had any luck keeping hold of MSDs vaccine fridges? Have a sneaking suspicion they will want them back! I’m trying hard to find the contracts! Any other tips welcome.
Thanks Doug and Keith, we had three delivered last year to add to three older ones. New contracts for the most recent 3 definitely mean they are to be returned. I’m hunting for the older contracts. The chillers from PLH are so expensive I just can’t see the advantage over a domestic fridge with a data logger for temperature, but am open to suggestions.
Hi Ben
If we all got together to make a group purchase of pharmacy grade fridges direct from a supplier like LEC we might get a good deal that made upgrading domestic fridges I have floate this idea at vetsure before but I don’t think it was really considered by the group

I am interested in adopting the vetstoria online appointment system in our animana PMS. Their reviews appear to say that its a good system. We are being quoted certain prices for this service and i wonder if anyone can comment on them as they appear quite costly , when the benefit to the practice in financial terms is uncertain:

Hey Guys
We had the Virbac reps in last week who asked if we’d changed Milbemax over to Milpro yet.
The pricelist on Hub is still saying Milbemax as the dedicated product and still cheeper.
Do we need to change over yet?
cheers x
Thanks Keith 😉

If you are a platinum member or any other practice using loxicom I strongly suggest that you order 2-3 months stock of the injectable version ASAP.
Henry Schein are now out of stock.
Tried to order on the same day as received this information and NVS had no stock

It’s been great to see the flow of sales of our new pet health plans since we launched last week! Even more encouragingly we are seeing early evidence that the promotion of health plans is also driving insurance sales – with some customers taking out both and benefiting from discounts to their insurance (alongside 5 weeks free!!!)
If you’d like t…[Read more]

Over the coming weeks we will be exploring differing business models for independent practices and how to support succession planning involving staff members – be they vets, nurses, receptionists or practice managers. Take a look at this article on employee ownership (similar to John Lewis model) as a radical starter:
