Bringing Pet Healthcare Home: Carla Finzel on Transforming the Veterinary Industry
In this episode of the Wear Wag Repeat Podcast, we're getting into a heartfelt chat with the lovely Carla Finzel, a District Veterinary Nurse based in the UK. In this conversation, we cover the emotional depths of caregiver compassion fatigue – that real strain pet guardians feel when trying to administer care to their pets. Carla was in the trenches at an emergency vet clinic practice for years and shared a fascinating tidbit from her journal. She observed that so many pets who came in, while not in immediate danger, could’ve hugely benefited from an in-home veterinary nurse visit. By being there for pet owners in this unique way, Carla’s not only lending a hand to pets and their people but also easing the load on veterinarians. We also explore the invaluable human-animal bond we share with our pets and its incredible significance. What we want to leave you thinking about is the immense value that in-home veterinary services can bring. They can prevent bigger health issues, shorten illness durations, and ultimately ensure we get to enjoy more time with our faithful companions.
