Our Least Favorite Question
For so many of us, it’s such a dreaded question—“What would you do if it was YOUR pet?” If you’re like us, you were probably told in school to never answer that question, or to dance around it as much as possible, but are we really helping our clients (or patients) if we avoid it? Listen to the DVM Divas as they share ways to handle the situation. Also, Ann shares an “HR” fail. Melissa has a “professional” win, and Maria reveals her hack for keeping clinic morale up during these stressful times!
