Client Communication

The Client’s Perspective

Five specific communication skills can help the veterinary team maintain a strong connection with pet owners, especially during difficult times. 

Client Communication

Advice That Pays for Itself

Cash-strapped clients want to provide appropriate veterinary care for their pets, and many of them are open to frank discussions about money. Be ready to propose a few financial options.

Practice Management

Improve the Client Experience

Do you need to change your hospital’s systems or the people you employ? Evaluating standards, protocols and training programs will get you started.

Client Communication

Be a Guiding Light

Communicating resilience, hope, compassion and empathy during a crisis builds strong bonds between a veterinary hospital and its employees and clients.

Client Communication

Don’t Confuse the Issue

Shared decision-making between the veterinary team and pet owner promotes better patient outcomes.

Staff Training

Oral Agreements

Improve your staff training and enhance your marketing to persuade more clients to follow your dental care recommendations.

Client Communication

A group effort

Improving client education and compliance requires proper training of the entire veterinary team. Accurate and consistent messaging is key.

Client Communication

The Value of Empathy

Actively listening and focusing on feelings are keys to building stronger client relationships in veterinary practice and reducing the risk of compassion fatigue in yourself.

Client Communication

Buy the Dozen

Persuading clients to purchase a 12-month supply of preventives in your veterinary practice gets easier if you explain the benefits well and price your products competitively.

Client Communication

Choose your words carefully

Clients don’t respond well to lectures. Strive to partner with them for the good of the patient, and remember to ask open-ended questions to jump-start conversations.
