September 29, 2026 by Andy Roark DVM MS

Stephanie Goss, Fractional Practice Manager and CEO of Pride VMC, joins Dr. Andy Roark to tackle a question every Canadian clinic is bracing for: what happens when human pharmacies start selling pharmacy products at a fraction of the markup your team is used to? Andy and Stephanie dig into pharmacy disruption, client communication, and team morale, unpacking why panic and shame are showing up on the clinic floor and how leaders can equip their staff with confident, authentic answers instead of a canned sales script. Listeners will walk away with practical tools for training the team, protecting their people from pricing pressure, and reframing this shift as a leadership challenge rather than a front desk problem. Gang, let’s get into this episode!
