[quote=Anonymous]So, another question-
Do corporate take overs help or hinder?  What do they help in a practice, and what go they  hurt? I can see how an individual practice could drown  in expenses, and maybe the business model needs this corporate investment.

I'm comparing it to optometry,  which used to all be private practices until Pearl Vision and all the subsequent others arrived on the scene  and changed everything starting in the late 70s. Optical services really changed, as well.

Back to veterinary- One issue is insurance. It was a rarity to buy it, with very limited options until the past 5 or 6 years. I managed 6 dogs without.  Now I would only recommend getting a pet with insurance as a  requirement. People don't understand  what it costs to treat pets these days. It's not unusual to have MRIs, laser treatments, physical therapy,  specialized surgeries, oncology treatment,  etc.

If I've forgotten  up to now, thanks so much to all the veterinary staff, doctors and techs  alike. Of course you are important to pets,  but it's really people  you are treating. Many apologies for any abuse anyone has had to endure,  I feel just awful to hear about it. [/quote]
