February 1, 2016

Yup, were talking about millennials. (Oh, calm down.) How they decide. What theyre really like. And how to tip the scale in favor of pet health.

But you have a secret weapon that's new, too: far more information about them. Here's a look at how they make decisions, what they really want, what they're really like-and some tips for tipping the scale in favor of pet health.

Why pet owners (and the rest of us) play it safe

Your pet-owning clients today are different, yes, but in many ways they might be the same as they've ever been. Delve into two important ways veterinary clients fear the wrong action far more than no action-and what you can do about it.

3 Dr. Google horror stories that reflect the veterinary profession's new normal

Many clients aren't on the same page with you about your expertise-they're relying on the Internet for veterinary advice.

Stop judging your new consumer

Confess: Are you frustrated by the high-demand, Google-happy discount divas and snapchat skeptics who ask everyone before they consult the veterinarian? Here's help. 

 

 

Pet owner 2.0: Dr. Google or Dr. Vet?
