There's a global staffing shortage of veterinarians and veterinary staff that's hitting local clinics and hospitals.
When the pandemic hit, it impacted the vet world in two big ways. Industry-wide, vets and vet techs quit, retired and burned out — like what's happened in human health care. "Data supports that millions of pets were adopted throughout the course of the pandemic, which is awesome, but that also means millions of new patients that need to be seen and when you're facing a staffing shortage, there has to be a little bit of a balance there. And that's kind of the new normal that we're trying to navigate," said Robyn Hagle, Hospital Manager.
"Here at Blum, we have lots of access also to some phone triage, email. Owners can email pictures, videos of what might be going on with their pets," explained Dr. Cohen.
