Throughout the conversation, they emphasize how Fear Free and low-stress handling not only improve outcomes for feline patients but also enhance the experience for clients and veterinary teams.

COHAT to COPAT: Elevating veterinary dental prevention

Jan Bellows, DVM, DAVDC, DABVP, FAVD, takes the guest seat for this round to discuss how to elevate veterinary dental care by reframing “dentals” as comprehensive oral prevention, assessment, and treatment (COPAT). He emphasizes shifting client conversations from simple “teeth cleaning” to a prevention-first mindset at every visit. Including educating owners that halitosis and disease originate in the mouth, not the stomach, and that cleaning is just the first step before assessment and potential treatment.

When difficult client interactions stick: Processing their emotional impact

A client’s accusation can linger long after an interaction ends, even when colleagues affirm that the veterinary professional acted appropriately. On this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success, Jennifer Edwards, DVM, PCC, CPC, ELI-MP, and Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, explore why these experiences can be so difficult to shake and what can happen when the emotional impact is pushed aside. They discuss separating the facts of a difficult encounter from the feelings it brings up. They also examine how to recognize when repeated experiences begin to affect interactions with clients and colleagues. They go on to discuss how intentional debriefing can help process difficult moments before they contribute to defensiveness, shutdown, or burnout.

Is pain just part of the job in veterinary medicine?

When Shaw asked approximately 500 veterinary professionals at a conference session how many regularly worked in pain because of the physical demands of their jobs, every hand in the room went up. The response highlighted a problem that Shaw and Edwards say has become too readily accepted in veterinary medicine. This time on the show, they explore why veterinary work can take such a physical toll and discuss the roles of ergonomics, body mechanics, and strength training in helping veterinary professionals build more sustainable careers.
