0:54
Speaker 2: it's such a great time of year.
0:55
Speaker 1: It is a great time a year, and it's great
0:57
Speaker 1: to have you on with us this morning. And we're
1:00
Speaker 1: going to talk a little bit about different services when
1:02
Speaker 1: it comes to veterinary care. And I'm kind of talking
1:05
Speaker 1: a little bit about too, about the structure of checkout
1:08
Speaker 1: veterinary check in VET. Of course, you've got the clinic
1:10
Speaker 1: in Marshall, You've got the clinic in Lamira as well.
1:13
Speaker 1: But before we kind of get into the specifics of those,
1:15
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of help people and myself
1:17
Speaker 1: included as well, in this kind of understand veterinary care
1:21
Speaker 1: and kind of what exactly you know, things like we
1:25
Speaker 1: hear about, you know, like a wellness or a preventative
1:28
Speaker 1: care and those type of exams. That's kind of the
1:30
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, that's kind of like the
1:32
Speaker 1: most basic part of veterinary care. Am I am? I
1:35
Speaker 1: off on that, doctor, No.
1:37
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. It's the routine care. It's the annual
1:40
Speaker 2: vaccination visit with a wellness exam. So we're doing a
1:44
Speaker 2: complete physical exam, listening to the heart, looking in the ears,
1:48
Speaker 2: looking at the teeth, feeling the abdomen, checking the lymph nodes,
1:51
Speaker 2: feeling for lumps and bumps, checking the coat, the body structure,
1:55
Speaker 2: the physical structure, the weight of the dog, how they're
1:58
Speaker 2: orthopedically put together or so you know, are they are
2:01
Speaker 2: they walking normally? All those pieces are really important and
2:05
Speaker 2: sometimes as owners, little things get missed or misinterpreted.
2:11
Speaker 1: The inter thing you say that too, is you know
2:13
Speaker 1: we think about like I know, you know from this
2:16
Speaker 1: day when people you don't think we're going to check
2:18
Speaker 1: out bet or wherever. I know, one of the things
2:19
Speaker 1: the first things that you do is you throw your pet
2:21
Speaker 1: on the scale. For example, pet owners, we don't often
2:24
Speaker 1: notice those fluctuations and uh uh, the scale scales don't lie,
2:28
Speaker 1: do they doctor?
2:30
Speaker 2: Well, no, unfortunately not. I would like to believe that
2:33
Speaker 2: they do when it's me and the doctor, but that's
2:36
Speaker 2: a different conversation. So yeah, that's a really important number
2:40
Speaker 2: for us. Not only does it help us to know
2:42
Speaker 2: what their weight is, if they gained, if they lost
2:44
Speaker 2: you know, is there anything wrong with the pet, because
2:47
Speaker 2: typically anything that changes their physical condition, their physical health,
2:52
Speaker 2: will alter their weight. If they've gained weight, it may
2:54
Speaker 2: be that they've just put on too much weight. It
2:57
Speaker 2: maybe that they're retaining fluid for some kind of a
3:00
Speaker 2: physical reason. If they've lost weight, we need to be
3:03
Speaker 2: aware of that. If they've got something wrong with their
3:05
Speaker 2: kidneys or liver or something that you haven't really noticed
3:08
Speaker 2: any other changes, but they suddenly start to lose weight.
3:11
Speaker 2: Maybe cancer. There's a lot of reasons that dogs will
3:14
Speaker 2: drop weight, castles drop weight. Cats, especially man they're sneaky
3:17
Speaker 2: little creatures. You tend not to really notice anything because
3:21
Speaker 2: it's so slow and gradual, and until one of your
3:24
Speaker 2: friends comes over and looks at your cat and says,
3:27
Speaker 2: did you notice cities have the size it used to be?
3:29
Speaker 2: You might have completely been unaware of it because it's
3:32
Speaker 2: gradual and you just don't see it happening. So weight's
3:35
Speaker 2: really important. It's also important when we're calculating drug dosice.
3:39
Speaker 2: We have all of our free in chicken heart room
3:41
Speaker 2: preventives are in categories twenty you know, twenty four to
3:45
Speaker 2: the forty four pounds or you know, they have all
3:47
Speaker 2: these weight ranges, so we need to make sure that
3:50
Speaker 2: they're getting the right dose of medication. But unlike human
3:53
Speaker 2: medicine other than pediatrics, we calculate all of our drugs
3:57
Speaker 2: based on a weight basis, so we multi apply their
4:00
Speaker 2: weight times either the number of pounds or a number
4:02
Speaker 2: of pilgrams that they are to calculate the dose in people,
4:05
Speaker 2: you go in and they say your dose is five
4:07
Speaker 2: hundred milligrams. It doesn't matter a few weigh one hundred
4:10
Speaker 2: and twenty pounds or two hundred and forty pounds. You
4:13
Speaker 2: get five hundred milligrams, which doesn't make a lot of sense,
4:15
Speaker 2: but that's sort of the way human medicine is structured.
4:18
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure to change that.
4:21
Speaker 1: You've you've got you've got pets covered, and we're gonna,
4:24
Speaker 1: I know it's you're gonna make You're gonna make lives
4:27
Speaker 1: better for our pets every single day. As we talk
4:29
Speaker 1: this morning with doctor Marty Greer of Checkout Veterinary Online,
4:33
Speaker 1: checkout vet dot com. That's checkout vet dot com, so
4:36
Speaker 1: wellness preventative. And then we kind of get into like
4:39
Speaker 1: different types of tools, different types of diagnostics, and those
4:42
Speaker 1: are those are things that are that are available and
4:46
Speaker 1: uh and can be quite quite useful as well, can't
4:48
Speaker 1: they doctor?
4:50
Speaker 2: Right? And we have a lot of blood panels and
4:52
Speaker 2: other tests that we do, urine samples, fegal samples looking
4:56
Speaker 2: for parasites, and then blood samples. We do an array
4:59
Speaker 2: of different panels, but we can do all those that
5:02
Speaker 2: check out and at most veterinary clinics, you just need
5:04
Speaker 2: a blood sample. We can send it in. We can
5:07
Speaker 2: check their blood counts the red blood cell, white blood cell,
5:09
Speaker 2: and platelets. We can check their organ function with liver
5:12
Speaker 2: and kidney and electrolytes, and then we can check thyroid levels.
5:16
Speaker 2: So all those things are really simple things for us
5:18
Speaker 2: to run blood on, and a lot of us do
5:20
Speaker 2: those routinely. It's a really important test. As long as
5:23
Speaker 2: you're coming in and getting your heart room test. Anyway,
5:25
Speaker 2: you have to draw blood for it. Heartroom is always
5:27
Speaker 2: a blood test. A lot of people misunderstand whether it's
5:30
Speaker 2: a heart room test or a fecal test, but it's
5:32
Speaker 2: a blood test for heartwroom and it also checks for
5:35
Speaker 2: the kickboard diseases, lime disease, ataplasmosa, centerlichia, and I will
5:38
Speaker 2: tell you in our practices at least once a day
5:41
Speaker 2: we see a positive dog on one of those tests.
5:44
Speaker 2: So it's so common that we really need to be
5:46
Speaker 2: doing those cheating a screening and cheapers. As long as
5:48
Speaker 2: we're drawing blood, let's draw on us extra that we
5:51
Speaker 2: can put it in a tube, send it to the
5:52
Speaker 2: lab and for like an extra one hundred dollars, you
5:56
Speaker 2: can get a complete panel of all the lab work
5:58
Speaker 2: on your dog or cat and then know what the
6:02
Speaker 2: status of their organ function is. And there's no other
6:05
Speaker 2: way to tell some of those things. You know, if
6:07
Speaker 2: you come in and your pet is drinking more than usual,
6:09
Speaker 2: or losing weight or doing some of these things, they're
6:12
Speaker 2: not very specific changes, so it's very difficult without some
6:16
Speaker 2: blood work for us to know what's going on. And
6:18
Speaker 2: they're simple if we're going to draw the blood anyway,
6:21
Speaker 2: an extra you know, tea spooter so isn't going to
6:24
Speaker 2: make any difference to your pets, but it sure can
6:27
Speaker 2: make a difference in how we handle their care and
6:29
Speaker 2: how you approach their medical care as well.
6:31
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing what's able to be done.
6:34
Speaker 1: And you mentioned, you know, drawing a little extra blood
6:36
Speaker 1: and those tests and just how valuable they are to
6:39
Speaker 1: your pet's overall health. When you were talking about that too, doctors,
6:42
Speaker 1: something that popped into my head. Do you mention things
6:43
Speaker 1: like weight loss or drinking water? And I start thinking
6:46
Speaker 1: about as humans, you know, the difficulty with doctor Google,
6:50
Speaker 1: with people googling and thinking for their own ailments that
6:53
Speaker 1: they may have found a solution. I've got a guess
6:56
Speaker 1: on some level, and I know it's a little off topic,
6:58
Speaker 1: but I do you do you see that as well
7:00
Speaker 1: in the pat world, where people are like rather than
7:03
Speaker 1: actually getting a proper diagnosis simply logging onto a computer
7:07
Speaker 1: and thinking that, oh, doctor Google's got it all figured out.
7:11
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think a lot of times they're trying
7:13
Speaker 2: to substitute it. I think they're just trying to get
7:15
Speaker 2: a jumpstart on what's going on so they understand better.
7:18
Speaker 2: And it's it's really not a bad idea to have
7:20
Speaker 2: some general knowledge about it. But please don't think that
7:23
Speaker 2: you've diagnosed some you know, rare and exotic disease in
7:26
Speaker 2: your pet by looking at doctor Google. Make sure that
7:29
Speaker 2: you go in and get that veterinary input, with the
7:32
Speaker 2: way with the physical dam with the blood work or
7:34
Speaker 2: the urine and the fecal you know, make sure that
7:36
Speaker 2: you're getting that whole comprehensive look at things, because an
7:39
Speaker 2: accurate diagnosis is absolutely critical to make sure that we're
7:42
Speaker 2: treating correctly. And there's a lot of diseases that are
7:45
Speaker 2: really easy to treat either with diet or medication as
7:48
Speaker 2: long as we have a diagnosis. We can make a
7:50
Speaker 2: huge impact in your dog's quality of life, your cat's
7:53
Speaker 2: length of life, all those pieces if we have the information.
7:57
Speaker 2: So the wellness stuff that we can do at checkout
7:59
Speaker 2: is going to be the physical exam, the bloodwork, the SECO,
8:03
Speaker 2: the urine. We can do an ultrasound if we need
8:05
Speaker 2: to clock to a urine sample, or take a look
8:07
Speaker 2: at their abdomen. So there's a lot of things we
8:09
Speaker 2: can do along with the vaccination stuff. Vaccines are really important,
8:12
Speaker 2: but that's not the reason you come to the vet
8:14
Speaker 2: every year. You come to the vet every year because
8:17
Speaker 2: we need to do their dam We need to make
8:19
Speaker 2: sure that we've got all the components figured out. And
8:23
Speaker 2: then the vaccines are like, oh yeah, and by the way,
8:25
Speaker 2: you need a rabies vaccination. It's important, it's required by law,
8:29
Speaker 2: but it is not the primary reason that we want
8:31
Speaker 2: to see your path.
8:32
Speaker 1: Talking this morning with doctor Marty Greer of Checkout Veterinary
8:35
Speaker 1: Online checkout vet dot com, that's checkout vet dot com
8:38
Speaker 1: talking about some different services offered at veterinary clinics and
8:41
Speaker 1: specifically we kind of break down check out vet, check
8:44
Speaker 1: in vet as well as the clinic and marshal different
8:47
Speaker 1: things at Checkout Veterinary that they offer to you as well.
8:49
Speaker 1: Don't forget speaking of things to offer, and of course
8:52
Speaker 1: great opportunities to start that relationship with a new VET
8:55
Speaker 1: with a great vet. At Checkout Veterinary, they are now
8:57
Speaker 1: accepting an opportunity right now, they're accepting new patients and
9:00
Speaker 1: that first visit, that exam it is free. Head on
9:03
Speaker 1: over to checkout vet dot com or pick up phone.
9:05
Speaker 1: Gave the call six oh eight three one eight sixty
9:07
Speaker 1: seven hundred. That's six soh eight three one eight sixty
9:10
Speaker 1: seven hundred. And're mentioning some diagnostic tools things like our
9:13
Speaker 1: ultrasounds there. What about X rays? Do we see our
9:15
Speaker 1: X ray machines for pets? Are those are those fairly common?
9:18
Speaker 1: Are those out there? How does how does that process work?
9:20
Speaker 2: Doctor? Oh? Oh yeah, And we have X ray machines
9:24
Speaker 2: that three of our practices. We don't have it at checkout.
9:27
Speaker 2: By design, it was intended to be outpatient wellness, so
9:30
Speaker 2: we don't have it there. We are looking at changing
9:33
Speaker 2: our hours at check in to Saturdays included, so that
9:37
Speaker 2: we can do some additional diagnostics. But checkout was really
9:40
Speaker 2: intended to be an outpatient wellness in and out efficient
9:45
Speaker 2: kind of process. So it's not meant to be a
9:48
Speaker 2: full service veterinary clinic. We don't do surgery, we don't
9:50
Speaker 2: do anesthesia. If you have, you know, small laceration because
9:54
Speaker 2: the dog ran into a barred buyer fence, we can
9:56
Speaker 2: probably handle that. But if your dog needs abdominal surgery,
9:59
Speaker 2: needs a don little, needs to stay a neuter, that's
10:01
Speaker 2: all going to happen to check in or Marshall. By design,
10:04
Speaker 2: we did not intend for that to be done because
10:07
Speaker 2: that changes the whole workflow and the efficiency of getting
10:11
Speaker 2: you in and out through the drive through. So the
10:13
Speaker 2: drive through is really meant to be your convenient factor
10:15
Speaker 2: of you're busy. You've got kids getting a soccer, you've
10:19
Speaker 2: got grandma to get to the doctor, you've got grocery
10:22
Speaker 2: shopping to do, You've got all the stuff, and so
10:25
Speaker 2: if you're in that kind of mode that you need
10:28
Speaker 2: those things done, then the efficiency of doing the drive
10:31
Speaker 2: through is absolutely perfect. There's no waiting room, there's no
10:34
Speaker 2: hanging around, you know, waiting for somebody to come in
10:37
Speaker 2: the room. You're in, you're out, and we can get
10:39
Speaker 2: those services taking care of very efficiently. But at a
10:43
Speaker 2: very high level, it's not like we're skipping anything. We
10:46
Speaker 2: just didn't build the part of the building that requires
10:49
Speaker 2: the extra cost and the extra walking around in the
10:52
Speaker 2: extra space that it takes to accommodate those in a
10:55
Speaker 2: veterinary full service hospital. So it's not meant to be
10:58
Speaker 2: full service. We have that our sister clinic and check
11:01
Speaker 2: in by design.
11:02
Speaker 1: Is that I think for for folks that maybe looking
11:05
Speaker 1: for like a comparable, are thinking more like a like
11:07
Speaker 1: your primary care physician for for your pet, is that
11:10
Speaker 1: is that probably the best way to look at the
11:13
Speaker 1: service that you And of course then then if you've
11:15
Speaker 1: got to go urgent care those type of things, that's
11:17
Speaker 1: for checkout vet and UH and that comes in as well.
11:21
Speaker 1: As we talked this morning with doctor Marty Greer, it
11:23
Speaker 1: is a fantastic day to start that relationship at checkout Vet.
11:27
Speaker 1: Mentioned how convenient it is and how it's designed very
11:30
Speaker 1: particularly to make it convenient, make it easy, keep everybody comfortable,
11:34
Speaker 1: everybody happy, making it a great experience for you and

Speaker 1: checkout vet dot com. Talking this morning with doctor Mardy
12:32
Speaker 1: Greer of Checkout Veterinary about different types of services offered
12:36
Speaker 1: at at at the Veterinary's office. That the clinics, uh
12:39
Speaker 1: what exactly that stuff all means, and doctor, I know,
12:42
Speaker 1: one of the areas that we talk a bit about
12:45
Speaker 1: has to do with oral hygiene dental care with your pets.
12:49
Speaker 1: And obviously when you get in for that exam, it's
12:52
Speaker 1: a it's a big part of I've noticed vet. So
12:55
Speaker 1: you guys like to look like to look at the tief,
12:57
Speaker 1: don't you.
12:59
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you know on most dogs. Yes, there's a
13:01
Speaker 2: few dogs that aren't really all that interested in letting
13:04
Speaker 2: us ee there gets a little bit sticky, you know,
13:06
Speaker 2: there's a few of them that would take a cheap
13:09
Speaker 2: shot at us. So I tend to use a pretzel
13:11
Speaker 2: instead of my finger if it's a dog that wants
13:13
Speaker 2: to take a little nibble off the end of my finger.
13:17
Speaker 2: But yes, looking at the teeth, well, we look in
13:19
Speaker 2: the mouth for multiple reasons. One is we check the
13:21
Speaker 2: color of the gums. Does the dog look like it's dehydrated,
13:24
Speaker 2: Does it look like they're anemic? Does it look like
13:28
Speaker 2: there's something going on in the general physical health of
13:30
Speaker 2: the dog that we can only see by looking at
13:32
Speaker 2: the gums. We can check hydration through feeling that the
13:36
Speaker 2: gums are sticky or tacky. We can look for anemia
13:39
Speaker 2: if the gums are pale. We can look for the
13:41
Speaker 2: gums to be kind of a bluish or grayish color
13:43
Speaker 2: if they're not breathing very well or their heart's not
13:45
Speaker 2: beating very well. So there's a lot of information that
13:48
Speaker 2: we see just from that. And then yes, of course
13:50
Speaker 2: we want to look at the teeth, and a lot
13:51
Speaker 2: of people assume that teeth are just teeth. They don't
13:54
Speaker 2: really think about the importance of overall oral health and
13:57
Speaker 2: the health of the dog or the cat, and it's
14:00
Speaker 2: really essential, just like with us. If we have poor
14:02
Speaker 2: gental health, we're gonna have heart disease, we're gonna have
14:04
Speaker 2: kidney problems, we're gonna have just generally not great health.
14:08
Speaker 2: I read a number of years ago that people who
14:10
Speaker 2: floss their teeth live sixty years longer. Now it may
14:13
Speaker 2: be more of a correlation than a causation. It may
14:15
Speaker 2: be that people that flust their teeth are also doing
14:18
Speaker 2: other things like exercising to take care of themselves. But nevertheless,
14:22
Speaker 2: I've figured the only thing you have to do is
14:24
Speaker 2: floster your teeth and you get six years. Like that's
14:26
Speaker 2: not very much exercise. I have to get you like
14:28
Speaker 2: a six year length. So our pest. Really their overall
14:31
Speaker 2: health is very dependent on their oral health as well.
14:33
Speaker 2: So we're gonna look at their teeth and we're gonna
14:35
Speaker 2: make recommendations for dental cleanings, maybe for extractions if the
14:38
Speaker 2: teeth are loose or broken, and we don't take those
14:40
Speaker 2: things lightly. It's not like, oh, let's just go in
14:42
Speaker 2: and take an out of their teeth. It's really not
14:44
Speaker 2: that much fun for us or the pet. But if
14:47
Speaker 2: we're not taking good care of their overall oral health,
14:50
Speaker 2: we're not going to get the overall health of their
14:51
Speaker 2: their body condition as well. Every February is dental health
14:55
Speaker 2: month on the human side, and so the same things
14:57
Speaker 2: apply to us as veterinary staff is we're going to
15:00
Speaker 2: look at their teeth as well, and we're going to
15:02
Speaker 2: have those conversations, is you really need anesthesia? We can't
15:05
Speaker 2: do this awake. We need to get up under the
15:07
Speaker 2: gums to clean the teeth adequately. We probably are going
15:10
Speaker 2: to need dental X rays and you know your pet
15:12
Speaker 2: isn't going to hold that little piece of X ray
15:13
Speaker 2: film between their feet. Will we take the X ray
15:15
Speaker 2: without anesthesia? So those are important things for you to
15:19
Speaker 2: know as well. And people tend to be reluctant to
15:21
Speaker 2: anesthetize their pet. They're like, I don't really want to
15:24
Speaker 2: do that, but it's so important. And once they've done
15:28
Speaker 2: the dental cleaning and the oral health care, the dental
15:31
Speaker 2: surgery that needs to be done, they'll go home and
15:33
Speaker 2: they'll say, oh, my gosh, like she feels so much better.
15:35
Speaker 2: I should have done this a long time ago. So
15:38
Speaker 2: really we need to look at their oral health as
15:40
Speaker 2: an important component of longevity and of overall health.
15:44
Speaker 1: So and things like cleaning in that area doctor, is
15:46
Speaker 1: that stuff that then would be done over at a
15:48
Speaker 1: check in vet? Or how does how do the cleanings
15:50
Speaker 1: and those type of things work? Right?
15:53
Speaker 2: Check In and Marshall can both handle those types of things.
15:55
Speaker 2: And yes, veterinarians that do any kind of surgery and
15:58
Speaker 2: anesthesia are also going to be prepared to general clintings
16:00
Speaker 2: because a lot of people say like, okay, well where
16:02
Speaker 2: do I go for that? Well, right here, you're here,
16:05
Speaker 2: we can do that for you. And so veterinarians are
16:07
Speaker 2: kind of interesting people compared to physicians. When my mom
16:11
Speaker 2: was older and not feeling well, she had nine different physicians,
16:15
Speaker 2: nine physicians to take care of her Veterinarians pretty much
16:18
Speaker 2: do it all. We do everything from surgery to dentistry,
16:22
Speaker 2: to wellness, to vaccines to diagnostics. You know, we're much different,
16:27
Speaker 2: more well rounded kind of care. So when you come in,
16:31
Speaker 2: you get tale to teeth, take care. It's the whole body.
16:36
Speaker 2: We're not just going to look at one part of
16:38
Speaker 2: your body. So I think that's really important that people
16:40
Speaker 2: identify veterinarians as being really full serviced and really capable
16:45
Speaker 2: of doing a lot of different things. We kind of laugh,
16:47
Speaker 2: you know, we're like, yep, we do all the species.
16:49
Speaker 2: We do all the stuff you know, humans like you
16:51
Speaker 2: may see an orthopedic surgeon, you may see it on collagist,
16:54
Speaker 2: you may see a cardiologist. Yeah, now we have all
16:57
Speaker 2: those specialties in veterinary medicine, but the vast majority of
17:01
Speaker 2: veterinaries out there are going to be able to do
17:03
Speaker 2: the full service piece of this and really do it
17:06
Speaker 2: very well. So we're different. We're a different breed than
17:09
Speaker 2: this position.
17:10
Speaker 1: That is, that is for sure, and I love it.
17:13
Speaker 1: It's it's and it's I love that. You know, we
17:15
Speaker 1: get a chance to do this each and every week,
17:17
Speaker 1: and as we do the program with doctor Martin Greer.
17:18
Speaker 1: Don't forget Mardy Greer. If you ever have a question,
17:21
Speaker 1: you can always call in six o' eight three two
17:22
Speaker 1: one thirteen ten. That's six oh eight three two one
17:25
Speaker 1: thirteen ten. We've also had some fantastic emails come in
17:28
Speaker 1: as well. You can of course email at checkout vet
17:31
Speaker 1: dot com. You can email from there. You can email
17:33
Speaker 1: the station here as well. We'd love to hear from
17:35
Speaker 1: you if you've got questions. It's also a great dat
17:37
Speaker 1: to start that relationship at checkout vet. You can learn
17:39
Speaker 1: more online checkout vet dot com. That's check out vet
17:42
Speaker 1: dot com. As we're talking about different types of services
17:46
Speaker 1: and on kind of understanding all of that stuff. One
17:48
Speaker 1: of the areas that we haven't talked about, which is
17:50
Speaker 1: one that you want to be planning and preparing for
17:52
Speaker 1: and hope you never need to use, which is emergency
17:55
Speaker 1: care and having and having an understanding of where to
17:58
Speaker 1: take your pet, information to bring, having things ready. What's
18:03
Speaker 1: kind of the guidance on that area of things, doctor, So.
18:07
Speaker 2: We'll do urgent care at checkout and check in as
18:10
Speaker 2: well as at Marshall. So anything that's minor and needs
18:14
Speaker 2: to be seen great. If you're not sure come on in.
18:17
Speaker 2: If it's an emergency and we feel like it's better
18:19
Speaker 2: seen by a specialist, or you need overnight nursing care,
18:22
Speaker 2: we're going to send you on to an emergency clinic.
18:24
Speaker 2: That'll be the ved School. That'll be one of several
18:26
Speaker 2: emergency clinics in the Madison area. If you need something
18:30
Speaker 2: reproductively that's an emergency, we're going to send you to
18:32
Speaker 2: Lamira because we're full service there. We're seven days a
18:35
Speaker 2: week at Lamira and the drive through at check in
18:37
Speaker 2: or checkout, so we have the ability to do seven
18:40
Speaker 2: day a week care at those two facilities. We're not
18:43
Speaker 2: overnight caroit either one, but we're seven day a week.
18:45
Speaker 2: So if you have a dog that's having any kind
18:48
Speaker 2: of an issue, give us, call your cat, come on in,
18:51
Speaker 2: we'll take a look, and if it's more than we
18:53
Speaker 2: can handle, we will then help you select the right
18:56
Speaker 2: place for you to go based on their capacity and
18:58
Speaker 2: their capabilities, because not all clinics are created equal. That's
19:03
Speaker 2: the reason we have eight doctors is not all doctors
19:05
Speaker 2: are created equal. We have some doctors that are really
19:07
Speaker 2: good at cats and some doctors that are really good
19:09
Speaker 2: at skin, and so you know those are the things
19:11
Speaker 2: that we're going to help you to sort out who
19:13
Speaker 2: should you see. And then of course we have all
19:15
Speaker 2: the personalities of the doctors, which I think is really
19:18
Speaker 2: important because not everybody gets along with everybody, and you
19:22
Speaker 2: may find one doctor that you absolutely adore and they
19:25
Speaker 2: really click for you. In another one you're like, yeah,
19:27
Speaker 2: well they were good, but it wasn't really my style.
19:30
Speaker 2: So be sure that you take advantage of that variety
19:32
Speaker 2: that we can offer for you, that you don't feel
19:35
Speaker 2: like you're just stuck with, Oh, this is the doctor
19:37
Speaker 2: that they gave me. We all have our followers, our groupies,
19:41
Speaker 2: and that's really important that you developed that relationship with
19:43
Speaker 2: the doctor that you love and the staff that you
19:46
Speaker 2: love so that we can provide those services. Well.
19:49
Speaker 1: I think the first show we ever did together, doctor,
19:51
Speaker 1: I think you had said talked about the importance of relationships,
19:54
Speaker 1: and folks may have noticed I always say, start that start,
19:57
Speaker 1: your start that relationship is that's stuck with me that
20:00
Speaker 1: first program that I took the time to write that
20:02
Speaker 1: down because it is. It's great when you when you
20:04
Speaker 1: reiterate and kind of point out how important that relationship
20:07
Speaker 1: is and having a good connection It's a great day
20:10
