EMBRACING NEW MONITORING TECHNOLOGY:

Background
Technology in veterinary medicine is rapidly evolving and
changing the landscape and the way in which we practice.
This is a very fun and exciting time to be a veterinary
professional, yet we can feel angst and worry when we
hear about new technology in the veterinary pipeline. Listen,
it often takes us months or even years for us to consider
changing to a different flea, tick, and heartworm preventive,
let alone adapting a new technology into our day to day lives.
Innovation Can Be Scary!
The veterinary profession tends to be slow to adapt to
change in technology. We tend to "let the other practice use
it first and see how it goes" kind of culture. But we really
shouldn't have that mindset because we are data- and
evidence-based scientists. Sometimes the innovation is
not there yet, or we are afraid to accept the innovation or
new technology. We should strive to gain a better sense of
understanding for how we can implement new technology
for the greater good of our patients!
NEW!
