The VRT is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. I’m late to podcasting so I’m playing catch up and bingeing episodes like it’s netflix. I applaud their bravery to discuss controversial topics and host crucial conversations relating to hot topics affecting the industry. Can’t wait for more interviews on the virulent spread of VPA programs across the country. Keep it coming ladies. PS I’m working my way through your book recommendations on communication and leadership as I try to help our clinic evolve. Also pushing for a call center, but that will probably need to wait until we go paperless first 😅.

i’m a new tech, at a clinic in my town! i’ve been looking for positive things to listen to! yalls bond shows so much to me! i like how much yall joke and laugh! i just finished the first episode but im excited to laugh along with you AND learn new stuff as a new tech! thank you guys!

love this pod (this is my third submission and i feel like a nerd) butttt i don’t know if yall have done this in the past but i think having a veterinary toxicologist would be super awesome to hear from. i think toxicology is such an important topic in vet med and flies under the radar of importance. i have had a dog lost to pancreatitis and garlic/onion toxicity and it is really sad to watch family members not listen to advice. i had to do a school project and reading more about the lack of knowledge being one of the leading factors of this issue is really saddening. i think it would make a great episode and be really informative for the listeners who are just pet owners :)

Hi my name is Elizabeth I just started working as a vet assistant I'm currently going through technician school do you have any tips or tricks?

I have loved your show since your start “5 boys and a business” you guys are some of the smartest people I know in the veterinary field. I have always looked up to you guys as role models and I am happy to say that I have loved the opportunity you gave me to be an intern for you all! I have learned so much. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone needing an internship or externship. Great people who know there stuff. Dr. King was a great boss and was always willing to teach anyone. You will see a lot of cases that I never thought I would see in real like. I love seeing their business succeed. I hope you are all doing well, and wish you nothing but the best! -Molly Francis (Currently a stay at home mom, with no animals; YET.) Lol

I found this podcast around the time that I made the decision to shift career paths and pursue veterinary medicine. This podcast has been extremely helpful in understanding what the world of veterinary medicine looks like. I tune in every new episode and I appreciate the honest and real conversations you all have. Coupled with the shadowing experience at a local clinic, working with cattle, and working with bison (the real world experience), your perspectives have helped me understand what I am getting myself into. In addition, you all provide great information that I have been able to see in practice shadowing at the clinic. From what vet school will be like to what being a vet will entail. From interesting cases to individualized experiences, this is a great listen and worth the time! Especially for someone considering vet medicine as a career path!

As an obsessed dog mom I really wanted to find a podcast to keep up with things about my favorite furry friends. I like getting information about real life things that can improve the quality of life for my babies.

I just discovered this podcast. I love how upbeat everyone is. I’ve been in the field for 12 years and still love learning new things, thanks for sharing interesting cases with us!

I love listening to your podcast on my way to and from work, walking my dogs, cleaning my house, etc. it’s very informative but not boring. I love the mix of information and just everyday real life and stories. Thanks for keepin it real - LVT from Michigan

I really enjoy this podcast! The insight from the staff's perspective as a customer/patient guardian adds a unique touch that makes every episode engaging. My favorite part is listener inquiries.

Hello! have been listening to you guys for a while on Spotify now - in the shower, on my way home from work and as of last week, as a breath of fresh air from first year of vet school! I’m certainly overwhelmed but I’m always happy to hear the daily ups and downs of others in the vet med field, and getting the notification that there’s another veterinary roundtable episode always brightens my day. This podcast has been a great way for me to learn things without my quadrillion PowerPoint notes, and I also get to have a good laugh every now and then. My question for you guys is: I have officially gone through the Fear Free Certification modules as a part of my school, and the professors and doctors are pretty adamant about using the techniques. Which is great! Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept of Fear Free but also, my experience in a low cost clinic makes Fear Fear seem really difficult. I would say 75ish% of the patients I have worked on would not be compliant with just Fear Free techniques, and the Fear Free modules recommend if that happens to reschedule with pre-visit pharmaceuticals… that our clients either can’t or simply don’t want to pay for. I was originally taught at my clinic to, for example, scruff cats, which I understand isn’t pleasant, but even on gaba seemed like the only way to treat some patients. Plus, we’re booked out. Like eternally. So do you guys have any recommendations for how to comply with Fear Free techniques in not-so-perfect patients? Thanks for doing what y'all do, it’s always nice to hear from you guys!

Love this podcast! I went to tech school with Courtney. It’s awesome seeing her do awesome things. :)

I stumbled across your podcast a little over a year ago and have been an avid listener ever since. I am not in vetmed; in fact, I work for a large financial institution as an Executive Director in the Risk org. However, I am exposed to animals as a volunteer at our local shelter, a cat foster “Mom” and we have our own 20 year old kitty that I frequently say is the love of my life 😊. My husband would agree, she has been my companion since 2004! I really love the culture you created there which translates to any business environment, your focus on your patients and clients, and the approach you take during the podcast. You make seemingly complex topics easy to understand and I benefit from nearly everything you cover. Above all else you seem to have fun and really love what you do despite the emotional toll your jobs can take. I won’t go on because this would be a novel and not a review but did want to post a review for you and also say that whatever Devon ends up doing I know you will make the right decision on the “task” and all your listeners will enjoy it. Thanks a bunch to the team for everything you do! PS: I frequently recommend business books and articles to my team, many of which are the same as you mention on the podcast. Tiffany

I constantly look forward to new episodes and recommend to all my coworkers! Keep up all the amazing work, I am proud of you all, and thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. People like you guys are what vetmed needs more of❤️❤️

I love listening to this podcast because I feel like it is preparing me for how the field should be structured. I love how they address issues in the field and different approach to change. Keep up the great work ladies! Let’s get to 100 apple reviews :)

Very educational and informative for students while still being fun and entertaining!

I’ve been listening for about a year, and I just learned where the review option was on Apple Podcasts 🤦🏼‍♀️. But I absolutely love listening to you guys the episode length is like exactly the length of my commute to work, so it’s perfect! Ive been out of school for a year and a half, just passed the VTNE two weeks ago, and I’ve gained so much knowledge from y’all! I appreciate what you’re doing & you’re doing it amazingly!

Wonderful podcast for any dog lover. These vets approach important topics with expertise, compassion, humor, and perspective. I compete with my dog in dog sports and I love listening to their conversations!

The only podcast I listen to!! I have been in vet med for 7 years and have been waiting for this!!! Love hearing all the vet med “small talk”, cases, peaks & pits. I feel like I know them!! Love this vet med girl gang!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼🐾

Hey guys! I am a veterinary technician of 4 years and just took on the roll of manager at my local humane society! I commute 30/40 minutes every day and listen you your podcast every morning and afternoon! You have brought me much insight into cases I have seen or will see in my career and I am very thankful for a platform to continue my education. I have 2 associates degrees, a bachelors, and am completing my masters all in 4 years so I am a huge advocate for continuing education. This podcast is great for that!!!!

Almost 3 years ago I took in a 5 week old kitten from the side of the road that had a broken leg. During her road to recovery we have dealt with Radial Nerve Paralysis, FHS (Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome), and Arthritis. Her challenging daily care prompted me to search out ALL the veterinary podcast, which is how I found yours. The Veterinary Round Table is by far one of my faves, please never stop!

I have LOVED listening to yall! I am currently a senior in undergrad, applying to vet schools this year while working as a tech at a local animal hospital. I just recently stumbled onto y’all’s podcast and socials and cannot get enough. There are so many interesting cases to hear about as well as great advice for those trying to get into the field which is exactly what I want to listen to!

I love this podcast and look forward to a new episode every week! I really feel like I’m sitting down with you and enjoy hearing the different perspectives on the common and uncommon situations vet med can have.

Congrats on putting together a podcast that is informative, collaborative, and entertaining. I’m Vet Med adjacent, imaging equipment sales, and your conversations and viewpoints help me immensely. Keep doing all you do to help pets and move the industry out of the Dark Ages.

My husband and I take both our cat and dog to All-Star and they are as amazing in person as in the podcast! The kindness, professionalism and knowledge by everyone in the clinic is unmatched! Thank you for all you do for the Westfield community and vetmed community!

As an overnight emergency/critical care technician I thoroughly enjoy playing this podcast for my team! We all enjoy the lighthearted dialogue yet very informative information (Knowledge is power)! This is EXACTLY what veterinary medicine needs. Thank you for what you guys do🩷

Thanks guys for putting out this podcast! My coworker and I love listening to y’all’s podcasts together! So many things to learn, great topics and just so fun to listen too!!

I was a retail manager for 17 years and had to pivot to a new career in my late 40s after my company closed during Covid. I ended up as a vet receptionist and this podcast is my ongoing CE. Whether you have zero experience in vet med like me or years of experience this podcast has something for you!

i love this podcast!! i’m a non traditional pre vet student and i enjoy hearing all of the different opinions and experiences from everyone on this podcast and have learned so much

I am so appreciative of Dr. King and her awesome team for taking the time to create this content - it is so insightful for pet parents and veterinary professionals alike. I am always so excited to see a new episode!

Helllooo beautiful ladies! I found y'all about a year ago and have listened to every episode since then! I absolutely love how fun y'all make the episodes for both each other and the listeners as well! Not to mention the incredible TikToks ya’ll come up with. I find myself smiling at the road far too many times. I am strictly a driving listener as my school is an hour away but I have parked the car and writing this review SAFELY. I am 19 years old and currently coming up on my second year of college. I attend my local community college for the time being until I transfer to the city but I take most of my classes online and commute 2-3 days a week. I am a pre vet student and also work as an assistant at my local mixed animal practice! I live in a smaller town so our clinic isn’t the largest as we have 4 people on staff total. We have a Dr/owner of the practice, RVT/manager, receptionist, and I am the assistant/ person that does whatever needs to be done! We have been overwhelmingly busy and it has been pretty insane but I feel like it has been the best thing for myself learning wise. I’ve been working at the clinic for about a year and a half and the amount of skills I’ve learned has been insane. From collecting histories, to running outside to help float teeth in this heat, to prepping/assisting in surgery, I absolutely love it. Even the endless amounts of surgery packs that need to be wrapped and fecals that need to be set up and read. With summer approaching we have started seeing the inevitable burst of snake bites, ehrlichia, heart worms, parvo, and of course “fishhook stuck in mouth” cases skyrocket. Don’t ask me how my doctor does it but she does it so well. Y’all have done a pretty great job of answering my plethora of questions about how to prep for vet school but there is one thing I cannot wrap my brain around and it’s CUSHINGS. I don’t know why but I need a Cushing’s Disease step-by-step for dummies at this point haha. Help a girl out, so so so much love from Oklahoma and keep doing what your doing! By the way, I think if Devon has to do a milk mile everyone should join. Milk mile is CRUEL.

So much love to you all! I am no longer in the pet industry after working in 2 shelters an emergency/spec clinic and a primary clinic mostly as a receptionist! I enjoy listening to all your discussions, recently my 10yr old pittie was diagnosed with Cushing’s and it’s a super frustrating experience so I like that you’ve covered it a couple of times! I also love that you guys really promote the different ways you all care for your mental health, one of the reasons I am no longer in the industry ☹️. Keep doin what you’re doing! I feel like your podcast is really giving the industry a bigger voice!

Hello… I am not a big podcast person, but I listen to you guys every day since I found your show a couple of weeks ago. you guys have the coolest cases and I really love the pits and the peaks. Your show helps me to feel more normal… There are a lot of us out there. I’ve been a veterinary technician for about 15 years. I was about 30 when I started my second chapter in life and worked my way up from kennel attendant. I don’t know if you guys have covered this already, but what are your thoughts on Techs that have a lot of experience and take the VTNE as opposed to being able to go to college? I would have loved to been able to go to school but had to go to work instead. Now I’m studying to take it in the fall. You guys always have the coolest cases.

Hello I am a veterinary technician in Florida. I thank you for creating this podcast. it has given me the place to relate to other people in the veterinary professional world, so I do not feel alone, and the things I go through on a daily basis. This podcast has motivated me to start the process of going through school to get my CVT and continue to be the best technician I can be!!!! Love you all at Allstar.

I am a baby tech, and listening you guys from instagram to now..makes me realize that i want to achieve my goals From learning new information, to learning more about the field i am so proud of yall Listening from Houston Tx Thank you guys for inspiring me to stay in the field!!

So many of us dream of becoming vets but what does it really look like and what are the real issues in our industry! Well wonder no longer this is the podcast for you. Listening to this podcast reminds me of why I love this community.

As a former Vet Tech, this podcast allows me to re-live my glory days at the clinic, and at the same time gives me the veterinary medicine/biology knowledge that I crave! You all break down your cases in such a palatable way that’s easy to digest. I love hearing how you strategize your treatments, and always appreciate the follow ups from your patients. This has become one of my favorite podcasts, hands down! P.S. writing this review from your neighboring town, Pendleton :)

I love listening to this podcast and I’m so glad y’all are coming out with episodes weekly! I’m going into vet school this fall without having worked in an animal clinic so I love listening to the cases and day-to-day things!

I’m not a vet but my daughter is in her undergrad pursuing a veterinary career and it’s fun to hear things from y’all’s perspective because it makes me feel closer to her and what she’s learning.

I love the pod so much. I like to learn new things and to connect it with cases to better understand. I love all of your dedication to the field and patients.

As a baby assistant (still in my first year in the field) this podcast helps me out so much! I have been able to share many of things that I have learned from listening with coworkers and it helps create that conversation in the workplace of continuing to learn new things all the time! Love you guys, keep on truckin

Hahaha I feel like I’ve listened to enough episodes now to leave a review. Yall are awesome. I have never reviewed a podcast yet so plz feel honored 🥰 technician here. At a small & large animal clinic, in very rural Missouri. I’m glad you guys are even carrying the CPMA, we have a lot of cost concerned people in my area so most of our parvo pts are too far gone to where supportive care doesn’t even touch them. It’s too expensive that our owner won’t even buy it because of the likelihood of it not being purchased. :( I’m bout to switch clinics and go to VEG so I’m excited for the change of pace and experience, and being utilized more. But yall are awesome! I love listening to your cases. We’ve been getting a lot of unique cases too. I blame the stars. LOVE THE NEW SCRUBS!!! 🩸🩸

It is encouraging to hear a Veterinary Team having such a good time together. You can tell they really enjoy what they do, and each other. The medical information is helpful, and accurate. Keep up the good work!

Hey guys!! I recently found you on tiktok and had to listen to your podcast and have been in love ever since! I’m a current veterinary technician student finishing my last semester and hearing real world examples helps my confidence in learning so much! I listen on my way to clincials every week! Y’all are amazing, never stop doing what you do!!

The best podcast around always love the laughs and the teamwork when it comes to the podcast! You all do such a good job, and can tell you’re really excited to talk about different things you see on a daily basis, easily are the best podcast out! Make sure to take a listen!

I’m a CVT / pre-vet student from CO and LOVE your podcast! My husband also enjoys listening to it because he likes the medical comments I make while listening. 😆 Thanks for educating all and keeping us entertained!

Hello, my name is Trinity! I am obsessed with your podcast. I love everything to do with veterinary medicine! The information y’all share on this podcast helps me learn so much. I am currently in undergrad getting a bachelor degree in wildlife sustainability and ecosystem studies with a concentration in pre-vet. I hope to one day become a Zoo veterinarian! I was curious how y’all studied in undergrad and veterinary school? I don’t do well with lectures so it is hard for me to retain the information. I also work full time as a veterinary surgical technician. I am looking for a good way to study so I can remember information for test. Thank you in advance and keep up the amazing work y’all are doing on this podcast! ❤️

Love this podcast I’m a vet tech student in Mississippi!

Love the podcast, I love how you guys can be informative by teaching people but also keep it fun.

Love listening weekly! Equally enjoy the veterinary discussions as well as the off topic rounds. By far my favorite episode was the veterinary appropriately named cocktails and how I was able to guess along with the rest of the table. Keep it up!
