This week, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT tackle the recent uptick in veterinary social media content aimed at showcasing pet parent demands, questions, and other miscommunication and misunderstandings. Many of these posts and videos are clever and serve a positive purpose, but others seem to only belittle and humiliate otherwise caring and well-intentioned clients. What are the true motivators behind these posts and how we can cope in healthier ways?
