In February 2024, Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, discussed the veterinary team’s role in pet owner education, including lifetime costs of pet care and pet insurance options. They debated the pros, cons and limitations veterinary teams experience during a Veterinary Breakroom podcast.
Fast forward to this year. Jennifer Sperry, DVM, broke down key differences between accident, illness and wellness policies in a recent podcast. Although recommending specific policies isn’t the role of veterinary professionals, understanding the landscape helps them guide clients with confidence, said Sperry. She also recently offered pro tips to enable better timing for veterinary teams to have pet insurance talks. Both resources are linked below.
