From Dr. Maria Zayas of A to Z Home Vet Care 

Our housecall veterinary practice is an essential resource for pets dealing with anxiety, aggression, and chronic health issues. We have found that there is a large overlap in need between our clients and trainers with behaviorist backgrounds. We don't have many referral options for trusted trainers with knowledge of veterinary medicine, anxiety medications, and the connections between chronic disease and behavioral health in pets. Finding and working with Sam has been revolutionary for our practice as we can now provide far more comprehensive care for our clients and are able to work in conjunction with a trainer rather than separately. Sam's experience and professionalism has allowed for me to rely on another perspective while not being worried about an additional, non-veterinary professional providing medical advice to my clients. This also allowed for coordination between the veterinary team and the behavior team without needing to refer my client to a veterinary behaviorist which isn't an accessible, housecall service. We have seen a benefit for every pet we've referred to Sam and in our complicated cases this has allowed for progress to be made that otherwise would not be possible due to the active case management by both our team and theirs when appropriate. I highly recommend more veterinarians set up referrals with Sam as it has been an indispensable change for our practice.

Testimonials from the webinar:

"I know some stuff about this stuff and I still had some perspective shifts and learned lots. And so many good reminders. The parallels between gendered language / labels with non-human animals and human animals was spectacular 🌟” Cheryl Warner, KPA-CTP 

"It was awesome and super helpful! One thing I realized is that, even though our pronouns are listed in our email signatures, on our Zoom accounts, and in the podcast, we don't have them listed on our Meet the Team page. I also believe that some of our handouts may still have gendered language that can be spruced up a bit. So thank you for helping Pet Harmony to improve!" - Emily Strong
