Hello, Innovetive Petcare Team,

Veterinary medicine is a rewarding profession—one that is often grounded in a passion for treating animals. But it also comes with a significant set of personal and professional risks, including dissatisfied clients, adverse medical outcomes, workplace injuries, and more. The AVMA Trust understands the unique challenges veterinarians face daily. We’ve been serving the profession for over 60 years. And we are here to help Innovetive Pet Care find ways to create a safer, more productive work environment for the entire veterinary team. We created this guide to help you and your colleagues reduce the risks you face daily by providing resources to help address some of the most common issues you face. We hope you find it useful. Thank you for allowing us to help support you throughout your professional journey.

Best wishes,
