“Dean Tintle, DVM of Wurtsboro Veterinary Clinic in Wurtsboro, New York explains, the way I understand it, we can use or not use the TVC vendors as we choose. If we feel that another vendor or product is better for our patients and clients either financially or medically, we will use that vendor and recommend that product to TVC so everyone can benefit. TVC is a no brainer. I think every independent veterinary practice should join.” ABC

“TVC will also develop tools that members can use to improve their pricing decisions and automatically update their practice management systems. Each veterinary practice will still make its own independent decisions, but will be armed with better tools and information.” Horsetalk.co.nz
