FASCINATING! The AVMA is providing interactive maps to present different lenses to view the Covid-19 outbreak and its impact on veterinary medicine and veterinary professionals. The maps allow users to zoom in and out and hide or show specific data layers when more than one variable is shown.
It is especially important to communicate proactively with clients about various approaches to prevention, treatment, animal welfare and their costs. Make them aware of options that can help them pay for this care, including credit, financing, discounts, deferred payments and the benefits of pet insurance plans.
