EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Dr. Andy Roark: Welcome everybody to the Cone of Shame Veterinary Podcast. I am your host, Dr. Andy Roark. I’m here with my good friend, Dr. Tannetje’ Crocker. You’ll know that we’re good friends because I say mean things to her that I would not say to other people at all. We have a history like that and we will talk about what it is, I think the world of Tannetje’.
If you don’t know her, then you should know her. I start the episode off talking about sort of her resume and, just why I’m such a big fan of hers. We talk about veterinary medicine and social media, and she, I think, is doing it really well. I think we’re living in a time when social media is turning a lot of people off, and I think that she’s doing it for the right reasons, and I think she’s really doing it in the right way, and I’m really impressed by her and I’m really glad I asked her about,
what do you get out of this? Is there a return on investment here? And she convinces me that there definitely is. And the way that she’s doing it makes a lot, of sense. So for anyone who is interested in social media and pet owners online and educating people online, this is a good episode I think about how do we actually talk to pet owners online in a meaningful way, and what does that mean for our actual practices and people coming in the door?
That’s what we get into today. Let’s get into this episode.
Kelsey Beth Carpenter: This is your show. We’re glad you’re here. We want to help you in your veterinary career. Welcome to the Cone of Shame with Dr. Andy Roark.
Dr. Andy Roark: Welcome to the podcast, Dr. Tannetje’ Crocker. How are you?
Tannetje’ Crocker: Woo. I am excited to be here. I am excited to see you at WVC coming up and really excited to talk about this topic, which I am actually really passionate about.
Dr. Andy Roark: For those who don’t know you, so you do a lot of stuff online. I don’t like to call you an influencer, but you definitely check that box. You are one of the, you are one of the most active sort of veterinarians online that I see.
And it’s important to me. You, I think, generally work in the positives, As, as opposed to like I don’t recall you ever bashing clients, things like that. You tend to be very positive about profession, which I appreciate. You’re very positive about clients, which I also appreciate.
I think some of that comes from the fact that you are yourself, a practice owner. So you are the owner of Alta Vista Animal Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. You also, because that’s not enough are an emergency veterinarian at Veg. And so you do that and you have young children. And I know that because they come and interrupt your podcast, which is my favorite part of your podcast.
It’s my second favorite part of your podcast. The first favorite part of your podcast is your husband, Shane. Shane is my favorite part of your podcast, which I believe is called Shane Crocker’s podcast is,
Tannetje’ Crocker: absolutely. Yes. Yes.
Dr. Andy Roark: or it’s Questions with Crocker is what it’s called. But but anyway, you do have a wonderful podcast.
I, and let me, I’m gonna keep gushing at you. One of the other things that just recently saw, so I actually listened to your, like I listened to your podcast, is it makes my list listens. And you have done episodes fairly recently about my own reaction to a one star review of my practice, which I thought was fantastic. you have talked about experiences you’ve had with clients and things like that, but I just think that you are just super authentic and real, and I do love that your kids come and intro interrupt your podcasts that you do with your husband, who is also the practice manager at the practice.
And so anyway, you just, for those who are not familiar with you, they should really check out your stuff. I’m just, I’m a big fan of you. I like your work that you do. I like the way that you do it. I think you’re good for the profession. And I just, I’m glad that you are that you’re my friend.
Tannetje’ Crocker: I think we just end the podcast there and
Dr. Andy Roark: Thanks for coming everybody.
Tannetje’ Crocker: Thanks the promo
and no, I, do appreciate that. And I will say that it’s, it has been people like you that have really helped me out and mentored me especially in these spaces that were unfamiliar with speaking and podcasting that have really helped me be intentional about it and feel like I could be myself and really share.
Dr. Andy Roark: You gotta be intentional. You have to like, you just got you’ve got so much stuff on your plate and and I think a lot of people look at you and go, how in the world does she do all this? Run me, run me just real loose. Run me through your week of emergency vet work, practice owner, work with your husband, and then juggling kids.
Tannetje’ Crocker: So my week is different every week, which is actually what I love. I thrive off of changing things up and not being in a consistent routine. So basically the way I schedule my life is I have emergency shifts that I work and I work overnights. So I can spend days with my family. My kids are in school,
Dr. Andy Roark: You have to sleep at some point.
Tannetje’ Crocker: I know, but I sleep. I sleep while they’re in school. I have an amazing team at my general practice, so I don’t work there full-time as a veterinarian. I work there a couple days a month. I get to see the clients I wanna see. I go in and do surgeries, I wanna do, I do the ultrasounds. But I’m not there as a full-time veterinarian.
So it gives me a lot of flexibility to really work on the practice as a practice owner. And then my husband and I really. He has flexibility. He works from home. So we really work together to manage the kids and their schedule and then also be intentional about our time together. We do go on date nights and we only talk about the hospital for a little bit of time, and I told him that we can’t have any finance meetings after 10:00 PM our, if we’re in the room, we had to set some boundaries there.
But, Really trying hard when I schedule to prioritize what I really have to prioritize. And then last year I did a little too much travel with speaking. So this year tailoring that back a little bit so I can focus more on the practice. And being here, we’re growing rapidly. I actually just signed a new veterinarian who’s gonna join us in a couple months.
So we’re adding a third. Yes. So team is growing. Practice is growing. It’s an exciting time, but I’m just really specific. I have so many calendars and I look, before I plan anything, I say, what do I already have? What’s most important, what’s on my plate? And I think I’ve gotten really good at saying no when I need to, and then really doing the things that I enjoy doing and that I’m good at.
And then I outsource a lot. So my husband helps with all the finances. I do have an amazing other manager at the hospital who does inventory, who’s onsite every day. I have somebody who helps me with my podcast, Harrison King. He does all the production and does the socials for me. For that. I do all my own social media accounts the ones that have my name on it.
I manage all those and run those. But once you start creating content and doing things you enjoy, you get better and faster and more efficient at it. And so I feel like I’ve done a good job with that. And it’s a learning process of how much I can take on and sometimes it’s more, sometimes it’s less, but I just really try hard to prioritize the things that I need to be doing that I think will grow overall, what I’m trying to accomplish in the long run, which is spending time with my family, being successful as a veterinarian, and also maybe helping veterinary medicine be a little more.
I don’t know, supportive of each other and showing people that you can really love what you do if you’re intentional.
Dr. Andy Roark: I think one of the things I’ve been most impressed about with you is that you have geared things back down sometimes, so you will get into things. I think it’s the only way to do it. I think there’s things you have to throw yourself into and you go really hard. I think that there’s a great fear that a lot of people have of I am going to do these things I’m excited about, and if I decrease the amount that I do them, then either I’m gonna fall off the wagon or I’m not gonna get other opportunities, or people are not gonna take me seriously.
And so doing the travel and then being able to look at your family and go, oh, this is a bit much, and then making adjustments. think that’s really good. had that experience, and it is, it was one that talk about sometimes where it’s just, I got to the end of the year and I said to my wife, how do you feel about things?
And she was like, I’m not good, Andy. you’re, you’ve gone a lot. And I was gone a lot. And I said, you know what? I felt that. And I was like, we’re gonna, we’re gonna make changes to that. And that was and that was something I never regretted doing, but it’s scary to do it. And so I just, I love that you, I love that you get in there, act intentionally, make adjustments things like that.
Tannetje’ Crocker: and we’re gonna talk about social media, but I do wanna just say too, it’s hard when you see other people growing or being successful and you are like, Ooh, I should be doing more. Or if you do have a, run where. You’re getting a lot of followers and your content’s really hitting and you feel like, oh, I can’t stop right now because it’ll all just go away and there was a couple times I did take very intentional breaks and it was still there when I came back and I didn’t post as frequently or I didn’t, and.
It was still okay. So I do encourage people to not feel that pressure when you look around that I have to do that or else, because I do think once you, once people know you you’ve networked, like those connections are gonna be there and you can always get back to where you were. But it’s not worth burning yourself out or not doing it the right way to just do it,
Dr. Andy Roark: I think you’re totally right. You and I started our relationship arguing about, first of all, you just started our relationship arguing. I was minding my own business
remember, and you approached me, I think the first words you said to me were like Roark, I have a bone to pick with you.
I think that’s how we met.
Tannetje’ Crocker: Yes.
Dr. Andy Roark: I think that’s what happened. And you came up to me because you disagreed with some public positions I had taken about social media and, specifically like sort of TikTok and sort of video based apps and stuff. and I have said I don’t, see a lot of value in that.
That’s not something that, I’m not sure that the return on investment is there. And you felt strongly that it was there and. To rub my face in it. You have gone on and built a career demonstrating the exact things that I was saying, that’s not, you don’t wanna do that. And so you went, yeah.
Okay. That’s how you saw it
Tannetje’ Crocker: I also, if I recall, I actually made you do a TikTok dance with me and Adam Chrisman, and I still have this video. So just a reminder to you that this video is out there and I am in possession of it.
Dr. Andy Roark: Never let it be said I am sore loser. And so anyway, one of the many things that I have been proven wrong about in my career. what I wanted to talk to you about, so you were at VMX at the beginning of 2025 and you were doing a workshop on social media and things, and you and I started talking and the real question that I have for you is I’m looking at you and I’m looking at what you’re doing and your practice is growing and you are making content that is getting a lot of engagement.
And your reputation is, has really grown in the industry and in my way, you have done it. In my mind, you’ve done it the right way. You’ve done it in a positive way that lifts people up. And I just, I really appreciate that. And so let me ask you here, has social media helped you grow your practice? And lemme talk about that from an infrastructure standpoint.
You just said you, you hired a new doctor is, do you think that those things are tied together?
Tannetje’ Crocker: I do think so. I talk a lot about this when I give a talk on using social media for hiring because I think it is a great tool that people forget about. A lot of newer grads and younger veterinarians tell me that they actually look to see if practices have a social media presence. If they’re thinking about going there, and technicians do too because they feel like it shows that they’re a progressive practice.
They’re one that is willing to grow and learn and it seems like maybe more welcoming to them. And so we talk about how it’s really cheap marketing. It can show the culture of your practice very easily. And I do think we constantly get. Messages and comments saying, we wanna work there, we wanna work with you.
I’ll have people send resumes in. I have a ton of younger veterinarians, I made a random post saying, this is the type of vet I’m looking for. Does it exist? And I had so many comments of people saying, that’s me. I’m gonna message you. And so it is amazing how much broadens who you can reach. And it, I think being able to show.
The culture and personality of the practice is so, valuable because if you go look at a social media of a hospital and you see they’re showing the team, they’re highlighting their successes, they’re showing, dentals with dental X-rays, they’re showing the type of surgeries they’re doing, you already get a sense of what they’re about.
And so I do think it can help with marketing and hiring, and it certainly has helped us overall as a practice.
Dr. Andy Roark: Talk to me about the pet owner side. Do pet owners, are they aware of the stuff that you’re doing? you talk a lot to vets, but you also do client education stuff that’s mixed in. Do you have a sense of what percentage of your audience is pet owners versus vet professionals and do you have pet owners that actually come in your door and talk to you about your social media content?
Tannetje’ Crocker: Yeah, so it’s really interesting when I started this. My social media accounts, they were mainly to target veterinary professionals and basically talk about why I still love what I do how intentional I am about it. And then it’s grown and more pet owners now follow me because our jobs are interesting, they wanna know more about it.
And then I do a lot of education and they even find the education I do for fellow vet professionals. To be interesting. And I would still say it’s probably 60 40. So 60% veterinary professionals, but it’s growing in pet owners and I’ve actually played with more content for pet owners and some of my
most recent more successful videos were for them and they were very simple things. One was me walking by my cat and then stopping and backtracking and just showing myself, counting their respirations. And basically I put on there that a lot of cats that have heart disease, you’ll have an elevated respiratory rate before you’ll see more significant signs that took off with pet owners.
And it’s really interesting ’cause there’s statistics around this and cat owners are actually more likely to be online searching for answers for their pet’s issues and their pet problems. So we’re missing a big opportunity educating cat owners overall if we’re not doing it on social media. But the statistics say 49% of cat owners go search on social media if their pet is having a problem and 43% of dog owners do.
And so that video generated a lot of questions of people asking what can my vet check for? when I go in, what should I be asking them to look at? If I’m worried about heart disease, how do I check my cat’s respiratory rate? If I do see it’s elevated, what can I do about it? And so it’s a simple thing, but it generated the conversation and it got people thinking about it.
And my hope is that translates into them paying more attention to their cat and catching signs early or talking to their veterinarian about what else they could do to monitor. So it’s a big missed opportunity if we’re not using social media at all. In some ways, a practice to communicate what pet owners could be looking for, what to look for during certain times of year, and very pet specific education.
Dr. Andy Roark: I think the main thing I wanted to talk with you about today was, what is the messaging that works to communicate with pet owners? if I want pet owners to hear something, how do I make a message that actually hits them and resonates? I wanna take the post that you just talked about.
So you’re walking by, you see your cat, you backtrack, and you count respirations, and you talk about that. Tell me why that post worked, Tannetje’
Tannetje’ Crocker: I think it worked because it was relatable, because people, can think about the fact that you worry about your pets and so you’re gonna be looking for things and monitoring things. The type of pet owners that we’re trying to target. the other thing is, it’s something very simple that pet owners can do at home, but I also threw out the fact that a lot of cats have heart disease and they don’t have a murmur.
So a respiratory rate is a good way to monitor early signs of a heart condition that’s worsening. And so that small little tidbit I don’t consider it fearmongering because it’s an accurate statement, but it’s something that they’re not aware of. And so I think too, the video, just the way I structured it, it was very simple.
But it was easy to read the text on the screen. I had a trending sound with it, so it’s something that would be, the algorithm would pick up a little bit. And then my hashtags were cat owner specific. So there’s little things you can do to make that post more successful. And honestly, I might put that post out a different day and then not do as well.
And I do variations sometimes of these types of posts to see which one does work, but I think this one really hit home because it’s something they weren’t aware of, but it’s something that could be life threatening to their pet.
Dr. Andy Roark: I think also the fact that you give them something to do and it’s not a, it’s not a heavy lift. It’s not, you should go and do this every day, or this takes a lot of time. You’re like, here’s a simple thing you can do just by looking at your cat. And so I, yeah, and I do think they they’re drawn to that yeah, I think people wanna be good pet owners and they want to feel empowered.
And so that totally makes sense to
Tannetje’ Crocker: And one thing I do caution people on, because a lot of people, they like to just focus on the negative, right? And so I think the bad thing you can turn pet owners off if you’re constantly saying like. don’t do this and don’t. And so giving them a positive of something to do and look for can be really great.
And we don’t wanna fall in the category of the people that are giving misinformation online and using fear-mongering to get people to listen to us. We wanna come from a place of we care, we’re trying to help and we’re educating, and I think. People can sense that when you’re being honest and true and you’re not trying to sell them something or do something.
So it gives us a little bit more credibility and battling that misinformation out there, which is vast is really important.
Dr. Andy Roark: Yeah. No, I, think you’re, I think you’re spot on. I really do like that piece of advice around, it’s easy to fall into, don’t do this. This is the mistake that people make. And it does. I think it wears people down. I think yours was very much of a, here’s a good thing that you can do and it’s gonna help you keep your pet healthy.
Not, here’s how to know if your cat’s dying. It’s not that. So anyway, I say like the approach that you take. Do you feel like a lot of the work that you do on social media from a pet owner standpoint, does that translate to people actually coming into your clinic?
Tannetje’ Crocker: Yeah, it’s very interesting. I think. it’s fun to have a local vet hospital and then also work for a bigger hospital group that also is really active on social media. I have people come into both places that recognize me or come in to see me. I specifically have had, and this is really random, but I did a post on doing a vulva plasty in a dog that had chronic UTIs.
And I have since then had three people that have come from all over Texas for me to do vulvaplasties on their dog at my general practice. And it’s because they searched. For chronic UTI and they found my post on social media and then they saw the before and after pictures and I talked about it and they’ve come and seen me for it.
So it’s fun. And I, wouldn’t say that people make a big deal about the fact that I have a social media when they come in, but there’s certainly people that are like. We know you from your post, or if I say, can I take a picture of your pet? Or do you care if I share this? They’re like, yes, we would love it.
Can you tag them? Because, they wanna also see their pet on there. And it’s interesting I think people forget about that connection. 35% of pet owners actually have a pet account for their pet. And so it’s a really fun way to connect everything on social media by saying, can I tag them?
Do they have an account? And whether I do it from my personal one or from the hospital one, it’s valuable to them and they love seeing them on there. So it’s a fun way, but it has truly, yes, brought people in the door. And then I think locally, people know our team and so we’ll have people say man, you guys look like fun.
You look like you really care. And we’ll have people come in. We had 720 new clients last year, which is an awesome number. And we’re just getting new clients over and over. And we’ve also had. Two corporate practices open within five miles of us. So the fact that we’re still growing with two new practices locally makes me really proud of us as a private practice owner.
Dr. Andy Roark: Yeah. like that a lot. That makes a ton of sense. What has changed that you have seen in the last few years? you and I met about three years ago and we were talking about TikTok dances and stuff. My perception is that technology continues to change the way people use social media, the way they engage online.
It’s continuing to change. I think we’re probably in a period right now of rapid behavioral change. I have, it’s been my perception. It’s funny, I, it’s been my perception that LinkedIn has really taken off in the last year. I can’t back up with data, but just I, the number of people who come on this podcast, and when I say to them, where can people find you online?
They say, oh, you can follow me on LinkedIn. That number has soared. I used to never hear it, and about every other guest now says that’s where you can find ’em online. My, my just instinct is I think people like the ability to connect about professional topics and they, and maybe not to be plugged into breaking news and discussions of things of that nature.
but I don’t know. That’s true. How do you feel about it? What do you think is changing as far as the landscape? And then what have you seen changing as far as the way that messaging effectively happens?
Tannetje’ Crocker: There’s been a, very dramatic shift from social media being an entertainment platform. So if you think about it, TikTok did start out as dances and short form content. But now it is truly a search engine and is an educational platform, and so it, it all, these platforms are becoming where people go even more so than Google to get information.
And you’re having, I think, also more people on there that have the credentials. And the authenticity to speak to these things. So I follow a ton of human medical providers on TikTok especially, and they put out great content and helpful content, and they’re funny and they’re educational, the fact that you can take these people that normally you wouldn’t be able to talk to or be able to learn from, and now you can do That, I think has added deeper element to social media as a whole. And there’s still accounts out there that are cute videos or funny or dancing videos, and there’s still value to that just for people overall. But I do think that it’s gone deeper and what the content is that’s being created. It’s a longer form and I really think people are just more engaged at a higher level because of it. LinkedIn is interesting to me. I’ve had that too and I’ve posted a little more on there. I still am not as active on there, but I think it’s great for the profession.
And there’s been some really good conversations on there about where the profession is headed. And I think that’s, actually. Been very exciting to see, and it’s not just a platform looking for jobs, and job searching anymore.
Dr. Andy Roark: I think, it used to be that medicine was a pretty flat profession, meaning everything was independent ownership and the the hierarchy of that medicine was, caregiver, manager slash owner sailing. That was it. That was all there was. And now what, we have practice groups and we have these larger organizations.
There are area medical directors and there are regional directors of medicine or directors of operation, we’re seeing veterinarians move into these jobs and I think that LinkedIn is an interesting place for those people to get to connect with each other about a weird job that didn’t exist 20 years ago or wasn’t, wasn’t common 20 years.
So anyway it’s just been interesting. What do you anticipate. Will be different is a hard question. Five, five years from now, looking in your crystal ball, looking at the way the world is going and how we’re communicating, what do you think you’re going to be doing differently on social media as far as communicating with the public, that’s vet professionals and also pet owners and say five years.
Tannetje’ Crocker: I think that as more people are doing it. You’re going to have to get more creative or stand out more with your content. I think that information’s gonna be the same, right? You’re always gonna have the same issues with parvo and puppies, cats with heart disease, pancreatitis around Thanksgiving, but it’s, going to be harder to stand out and find ways to really connect. And I think the value you’re gonna have to bring to content to really grow is going to get more and more challenging. There’s some people that, have grown because they have a shtick or they have something that’s very, and I have really stayed away from that. I have a couple skits or things I’ll do, but because I think eventually you run out of ways to do that or, it gets old.
Dr. Andy Roark: It gets tiring.
Tannetje’ Crocker: Yeah.
I think that you’re gonna have to keep reinventing yourself if you’re already doing it and you wanna be here still in five years. And to me that’s exciting. I’ll be honest, I don’t see it as a negative because I like challenging myself and I like trying new things and seeing what hits and what people respond to.
And you’re gonna continue to have the generations change that are on these platforms. And so you have to see how you can hit each person. If you’re truly wanting to educate pet owners and promote your business and hire people. But I think it’s going to continue to be a place that you can connect with people in our industry to hire.
And I think it’s gonna be a way to learn. That’s another thing I, really. There’s a lot of education on TikTok, and I’ll have people where I’ll post something and they’ll say, oh, I ha I didn’t do it that way. That’s interesting. Why do you do that? Or, I didn’t know that existed. Where’d you get that from?
So I think that’s gonna grow too, a little bit where people are gonna say, wait, that’s a really cool product and we want that in our hospital. And you’re gonna see companies even, and you’re seeing it already, where they’re using these social media platforms to get information out. Because yes, people go to conferences, but do you really read all the flyers?
Do you visit every booth? and so I think it’ll be utilized in that way a little bit more too.
Dr. Andy Roark: Yeah, I I look at where we are with AI and just in the last year, AI has really taken off and the amount of content that’s being created to me is terrifying. Like it is, there is so much and it is so easy to make right now. It’s easy to make texts newsletters are just incredible. Like they’re everywhere because people can just crank ’em out so fast with AI assistance, I think five years from now, I think videos are gonna be that way and it’s just gonna be cranking, like people are gonna be able to just crank out so much content.
The sea of noise is gonna be incredible. My, my instinct is, and I’m not exactly sure how this manifests, but I think that people are going to be as hungry as ever and probably more hungry for things that feel genuine and authentic and like authentic human contact. I think that as AI just generates a bunch of generic crap, we are going to want to see human beings for being human beings and have, I think we’re gonna be hungry for that type of connection. And so I’m not sure how that’s gonna manifest itself, but I do think the future still going to be more than ever about, do people see you as a real person? Do they see you as someone you know, who I don’t know who they could have a conversation with?
something like that. I, think that stuff is really gonna matter more so than, do you have more information than anybody else? Do you have, fastest answer to their question? I think that you’re not gonna be able to keep up with AI as far as answering people’s questions, on the fly, but I think that people really, they want to know other people.
Tannetje’ Crocker: I think that’s why if you go into educating online, you need to look at it as a community and as you are not just putting things out there, you’re also taking things in and being. actually following people and interacting with their content and people you meet in real life, supporting them I think is, important.
And whether that is the pet owner that comes in your hospital, that you tell the story of their dog that you saved and they get to shout that out and everyone gets to see that heartwarming experience in your community. Or it’s some random person that you know messages you and says, thank you for sharing.
I just had the worst day and now I feel less alone. But, really focusing on those interactions are, I think what will sustain an account in the future. There’s so many people that are joining and so many people putting stuff out, but if you’re relatable and you’re authentic, I think you’ll continue to be successful.
Dr. Andy Roark: I, think you’re, I think you’re spot on. I think you make a really good, really good point there. I don’t think that people, I don’t think people want you to be the sage, they’re not looking for the veterinarian pet expert that’s going to tell them what they’re doing and how they’re failing.
