Client issuesI’m tired of it being my word against Dr. Google’s. I wish I could manage clients’ sources of misinformation.

Clients don’t seem to care about their pets as much as I do. Why don’t they accept my recommendations for preventive care?

Money & business issuesI’m in so much debt. How to manage student debt—so it doesn’t jeopardize your future.

My competition is growing every day. How can I possibly stay on the radar for new and existing clients?

Personal issuesI’m tired, stressed, over-worked, and generally out of balance. I don’t want to burn out, but I don’t see how to change my situation.

Team issuesI work with a team member who has a (really) bad attitude. I need to do something. (And I’m dreading it.)

I am pitching ideas I think would help the practice and help our team stay fired up—and I can’t get buy-in. Why isn’t anyone helping me!?

I can’t find the team members I need.

DR. LISA RADOSTA AND HER DAUGHTER ISABELLA. PHOTO COURTESY OF DR. RADOSTA

“My life is hectic. I juggle motherhood, a marriage, practice ownership, lecture schedules and writing. To keep centered and disconnect, I run two, three, even four hours at a time. When I put on my hydration vest (a backpack with a fluid bladder), I feel strong and unstoppable. I have made sure that this part of my life is a priority so that I can stay healthy and sane. I find treadmills in each hotel where I stay and find a way to fit in a run, even if it is a short one. If I don’t take care of myself, I can’t take care of anyone else.”

So bring along your virtual hydration vest. Our speakers are on the journey too, juggling work and family, practice ownership and career goals. Dr. Lisa Radosta, behavior specialist, shares what keeps her on the path.

Fear Free℠ revitalized my career. After years of training to be the best vet I could be, I questioned why pets were hiding in the corners of exam rooms, and why pet owners were reluctant to seek veterinary care. I questioned why consumers were spending more money in every sector of the pet care industry except for veterinary medicine. With the help of my mentor, Dr. Marty Becker, I realized there was a whole new level of health care that hadn’t been tapped—the pet’s mental health. For me, it’s not just about diabetes and what insulin to use. It’s also about how does that pet feel when you needle it with insulin? Helping create techniques to ensure every pet I touch has a better experience and sharing it with others is rewarding and fun.

“Get busy learning, or get busy dying.” —Dr. Jonathan Bloom

Dr. Jonathan Bloom“When we graduated from vet school, we felt accomplished and ready to use everything we’d learned to help pets. It turns out, that’s where our education started. Health care advances and experiences are what really shape our careers.”

Bloom’s 3 Fs are the things that hold most people back from enjoying life to the fullest—fear, failure and fun. Fear of trying something new, the risk of failure and the reluctance to let loose and have a little bit of fun.

Wilson, a dermatologist at Pet Emergency & Specialty Clinic of

Marin, will help you approach your dermatology cases armed

Instructor spotlightThe Vet Confessionals Project

ChillDr. Dogan will

lead guided meditation in

quiet rooms at Fetch dvm360

conferences this year.

Founded by Dr. Hilal Dogan and powered by dvm360.com, The Vet Confessionals Project allows you to share your “secret” and encourages creativity and solidarity within the veterinary community. You’ll find the latest, ever-changing exhibit at Fetch dvm360 conference. (We’d love for you to contribute your own secret and walk away feeling a little lighter.) Dr. Dogan is also a certified clinical trauma professional, which means she’s a trained communicator and facilitator. In her sessions, she’ll talk about the stresses veterinary professionals face, teach you to recognize and overcome toxicity—and help you find your personal path to greater joy.

Wellness (yours!)Bree Montana, DVM, CCFP, owns Agate Bay Animal Hospital and Dog Gone Crazy boarding/training facilities in North Lake Tahoe, California. Dr. Montana helped to create the VIN Foundation’s innovative Vets4Vets program, a confidential support group providing emotional care to those struggling with all forms of stress, addiction and mental health issues.

Her best wellness tip:“When something bad is hitting the fan, breathe and grab a balanced, powerful pose. This signals my body that all is well and allows me to access my brain. I ride large, high-energy warmbloods and when something spooky happens (assassin-plastic bag, anyone?) and my pony stops being able to listen and starts to want to run around like a baby dinosaur, things go much better—much faster when I maintain a calm and relaxed posture. When I am calm, the situation becomes more calm. This works beautifully with hairy emergencies in the hospital.”

The career advice everyone should remember:“If you can imagine it, you can do it. It may take a few (or ten) years of real deep down hard work, but anything is possible in this profession with a strong will and a badass work ethic.”
