Challenges related to pet-owner costs and other barriers to animal care have always been a part of veterinary practice. However, these day-to-day difficulties appear to be increasing, with growing attention to the ‘access to care’ veterinary crisis impacting our patients, clients, and veterinary care teams. One proposed solution to this problem is the deliberate incorporation of Spectrum of Care into practice (i.e., evidence-based care options along the continuum of acceptable care). During this webcast, Drs. Jason Stull and Michelle Evason will use real case examples and highlight how to identify care options while effectively communicating these options to pet owners.
