Скачать или смотреть The Private Equity Veterinary Scam Making You Poorer and Killing Your Pets

In this podcast recap, Joe Spector discusses the financial and regulatory hurdles currently driving up the cost of veterinary care. He attributes rising prices to private equity consolidation and a lack of transparency in a cash-pay industry that often prioritizes upselling services. Spector highlights how his company, Dutch, utilizes telemedicine to provide affordable, remote care for pets, though he notes that major trade organizations are actively lobbying against these digital options. These groups often use fear-based tactics to convince veterinarians and legislators that remote care is dangerous, effectively preserving a brick-and-mortar monopoly. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes that expanding access to telehealth is essential for reducing pet abandonment and ensuring that more animals receive consistent, low-stress medical attention.
