“Veterinarians are realizing that they can no longer rely on short “in hospital” visits to adequately educate clients. Other businesses pour millions into having an online presence and now veterinarians have a unique opportunity to use new technology in a different way to improve the lives of animals and pet parents”, says Lewis.
Since the August 2010 launch of VetTv, thousands of pet parents have watched everything from complicated surgeries to how to give a pill to a cat. The content on VetTv changes every day! Veterinarians are also finally able to easily monitor patients overnight in high definition clarity on their home computer or smart phone. “Educating clients is as important as treating patients, says Dr. Tim Montague, Eads Animal Hospital in Eads, TN. When we met with VetTv we didn’t even let them finish as we were so excited about this opportunity!” Dr. Eileen Mertz, owner of Gardner Animal Hospital in Gardner, KS recently joined this exciting network. Her VetTv channel is broadcasting now and can be seen in the lobby of her hospital or online at www.GardnerAH.tv. Dr. Mertz is excited to speak with her clients each month with personal E-videos about important animal health topics.
Notable to VetTv.net is its commitment to finding more families for lost and homeless pets. Non profit organizations are given free monthly hosting and network training in hopes of bringing increased visibility to their organizations and pets who need homes.
Mission: VetTv is a channel for CHANGE by providing a community that connects Clients, Hospitals, and Animals for New ideas, Growth, and Education. VetTv is changing animal health and owners, Dwight and Lesa Lewis of Jonesboro, Arkansas are committed to this mission. VetTv, “tv with a twist”, was actually inspired by a very special Doberman Pinscher puppy named Mighty Twister and Twister’s network will continue to improve animal health and save lives.
