A new article published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) argues that improving affordability and access to veterinary care will require a shift from a provider-centered model to a pet family-centered model of care. According to authors Emily Tincher, DVM, and Jules Benson, BVSc, a pet family-centered model of care should deliberately integrate each household’s goals, values, and constraints into medical decision-making. Nonjudgmental communication and an explicit understanding of client needs must sit alongside clinical priorities if practices want to remain relevant and sustainable in a changing market.

I came across an interesting development in the veterinary field regarding the representation of veterinary technicians on regulatory boards. The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) has approved Resolution 2025-4, submitted by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA). This resolution now encourages veterinary regulation boards to include credentialed veterinary technicians as voting members alongside public members and veterinarians. This move aims to ensure that the voices of veterinary technicians are heard and considered in decision-making processes within the industry. A significant step towards recognizing the vital role these professionals play in animal health care. #VeterinaryCare #RegulatoryBoards #AnimalHealth

CVS companion animal practices have launched a pioneering new campaign this autumn to help dog owners spot the often-missed signs of arthritis in their pets. Running into December, our campaign aims to raise awareness of the causes and symptoms of arthritis in dogs of all ages, and introduces a free, easy-to-use app called DogMA to help owners monitor their dog’s mobility at home. Arthritis is one of the most overlooked conditions affecting dogs, with research showing that by the age of eight, four in five dogs are living with chronic joint pain. However, arthritis doesn’t just affect older dogs. Younger dogs can also develop the condition due to factors such as being overweight, joint injuries, high-impact activities or breed type. As part of the campaign, CVS practices are introducing clients to DogMA, a scientifically validated app developed by the University of Liverpool. DogMA allows owners to assess their dog’s mobility at home using a structured questionnaire, to track changes over time and to receive tailored advice on when to seek veterinary support. The app is user-friendly also includes features such as medication diaries, exercise tracking and reminders to repeat mobility assessments. Owners can share reports directly with their vet, ensuring collaborative care and timely intervention. By completing the guided assessments, owners will also contribute anonymised data to the University of Liverpool, helping to advance veterinary understanding of canine mobility issues across the UK. #ClinicalQuality #ClinicalCare #VeterinaryPractice #CanineArthritis [Visual description: A client and their dog with a veterinary colleague in a practice consultation room]
