I Have a Question

I am a Veterinarian and I recently purchased a small animal hospital. As I am learning about managing the business, one thing I am looking to do is figure out ways to increase business. One thing I notice is that a lot of people have cats that they never even mention. So many times I have a client that I have seen forever, and then one day they bring in an old cat that is sick, and we have no idea that they even had a cat!

So, my question is this. What are some things your Veterinarian could do that would encourage you to bring in your pets, especially bring in your cat? Certain incentives maybe? Discounts?

Overall, Cats seem to sometimes be forgotten a bit, and are so prone to kidney disease that research shows monitoring for kidney disease as early as 6-8 years old is cats is needed.

Hello Doc,

I am a cat owner, while my Jude is an indoor cat she is very skeptical of people. I had always wished I could call upon a doctor for a house call. So that she would be more comfortable. She is overwhelmed by other animals on top of everything. I am not sure that this helped.
