Pet Owners, Just Let Us Do Our Job

June 23, 2019 by Nicole Palumbo, DVM

I recently had to use my stern voice. You know the one. It started with a “ma’am” because I feel like that sets the tone. Then I got my hand movements involved. A little bit of waving and motioning helped for maybe five seconds then I had to say a stern “ma’am” again. In the… Read More

It’s Time to Change Privacy Laws to Protect Veterinarians

May 6, 2019 by Nicole Palumbo, DVM
