Pet owners are willing to embrace preventive healthcare visits if they understand the value and benefit to their pets.

Partners for Healthy Pets (PHP), an alliance of 100+ veterinary associations, veterinary colleges, and animal health companies focused on preventive care led by AAHA and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), is offering a free, downloadable series of videos to help your team more effectively communicate the value of preventive care to pet owners.

The Words That Work video series and scripts are made to help the practice team have successful preventive healthcare conversations with clients. The series offers a detailed look at these conversations by including specific topics to address.

The supporting scripts can be downloaded and include a list of communication techniques that your team can apply to everyday practice and discussion questions you can use in team training.
