Mars Inc, a candy company that perfected the art of branding the same bad chocolate bar 3 different ways (Snickers, Milky Way and 3 Musketeers), brought that same marketing swindle into veterinary medicine (Banfield, VCA, Bluepearl).

It's extremely likely you aren't as good at recognizing your senior pet's arthritis as you think you are.

Vetmed is framed these days as a figurative pit fight between the James Herriots and the Jamie Dimons - in other words, the people attempting to catheterize your pet vs those attempting to catheterize your wallet.

At the top of my 2025 wish list is to see conservatives set their Cybertrucks on fire just like they did to their Keurigs in protest of President Musk going to war with them. I'm tired of getting stuck behind them in carwashes.

Time for my end of the year local veterinary clinic survey to see who is still locally owned and who has fallen to the corporate sleaze. Sad to see yet more locally owned clinics fall this year.
Support your local vets when you can. We're fighting an uphill fight against the bankers.
