Pet Owner Education

Social Media

Social media can be a powerful tool to:

• Stay connected with pet owners in your community.
• Educate your clients on the value of preventive care.
• Set the expectation that diagnostic screening tests will be performed during a preventive care visit. By planning ahead, you can provide your clients with sample containers for urine and faecal samples as part of their visit.
• Build trust and help gain compliance of your preventive care protocols.
