📲According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), only 47% of veterinarians would recommend the profession, down from 76% in 2005.
This is a clear sign that we must prioritize veterinary professionals' emotional and physical well-being and address work environment issues on an organizational level.
At Galaxy Vets, we're always looking for actionable solutions to improve employee experience and prevent burnout. Our latest study explores the key burnout triggers in the veterinary profession, and we're excited to share our findings with you!

Nope, sorry! You're wrong 😂
In fact, telehealth is the biggest game-changer that can help elevate the quality of care!
📌It's super convenient for prescription requests, virtual examinations, and post-surgical checkups.
📌It frees up in-clinic appointments for patients who need emergency care.
📌It takes the workload off on-call staff and allows pet owners from afar or those with transportation problems to get professional guidance at any time.

How to promote flexibility in your workplace?
Are you looking for ways to promote flexibility in your workplace? Our Vice President of Field Operations, Steve Kemph, has some great tips to share👇🏻
1️⃣Allow your doctors and their support teams to have a dedicated one-hour quiet time block midday or mid-afternoon. This time allows them to make client callbacks, catch up on medical charting, and treat pet drop-offs. It also helps technicians catch up on tasks like preparing surgical packs, charting, and cleaning.
2️⃣Have a daily 10-minute lunchtime burst meeting for each hospital branch to report on the current status of their work and what changes are needed for the rest of the day. This gives your hospital the flexibility to adapt to an ever-changing environment.
What other ways do you promote flexibility in your workplace? Share your tips in the comments below!

What is EBITDA?
🤓Have you heard about EBITDA?
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This measure shows a more realistic number for the buyer as it excludes owner benefits, rent, and other factors that have nothing to do with the actual profit of the practice.
To get the highest purchase price for your business, you need to strive to improve the value of your EBITDA since buyers are willing to pay more for clinics with substantial revenue!
