Winter has been calling this for a while, and correctly so IMO.
Vet is not a bad business if the owner is able to cover vet shortages, but a tough gig to do in a corporate setting. NVL are IMO very good operators and it ain’t all rosy there either - getting spanked today.
The reality is vets deserve probably double what the award rate indicates, and if you’re smart and don’t want to work 80 hours a week, that’s what you’ll pay them. Then you need to charge your clients significantly more than the d!ckhead around the corner that still thinks doing discounted vet work is a good way to live - and hope that your clients stay loyal to you regardless.
The reality is that most vets are sh!tty business people - but it will change, it has to!
