More solutions are available than ever before to reduce the burden of 24/7 client care: emergency service cooperatives, referral hospitals with emergency departments, restricting emergency service only to clients, restricting emergency
service to those who will haul a horse to the practice facility, tele-triage services, emergency-only equine practices and the use of relief veterinarians.

My Veterinary Life Podcast: In the second installment of New Year New Ideas, co-hosts Drs. Annie Chavent and Marci Kirk talk are joined by two very special guests, Drs. Jenna Donaldson and Callie Fogle. The focus of the conversation today is about innovative on-call solutions in equine veterinary practice. Dr. Donaldson, founder of Trillium Equine Veterinary Services, shares her experience with a subscription model for her practice, which offers flexibility and emergency coverage. Dr. Fogle, a clinical professor at NC State's College of Veterinary Medicine, discusses the implementation of a subscription-based emergency veterinary service through their program, which is currently in a pilot phase. The conversation explores the challenges and opportunities of these models, emphasizing the importance of aligning business models with client expectations, and the necessity of communication and collaboration among practitioners. It’s a great conversation and we are so excited to share it with you.
