"Every single thing we do now is because of VMG." - Dr. Michelle Mills

Dr. Mills knew at four years old she wanted to be a veterinarian.

What she didn't know yet was the team she'd build along the way, people who belong, who are valued, loved, and cared for, across two locations instead of one.

That foundation is what made the growth possible.

Our data team keeps a close eye on the numbers behind the headlines, and this month's is a good one: real veterinary spending has now improved for seven months in a row, narrowing from a –2.79% low in December to –1.27% in July. Small shifts like this are exactly why we track the data closely for our members, so you're planning with the full picture, not just the headlines.

Practices that outperform over time usually have one thing in common: they stop relying on one person to hold the whole operation together.

VMG member, Dr. Mark Thompson built that kind of system at Country Hills Pet Hospital, an AAHA accredited hospital named 2018 Practice of the Year. As a former AAHA President, he has spent years studying what separates practices that plateau from practices that keep improving.

His answer: structure. A consistent standard of care. A staff that is empowered to say "we could do this better" and a leader willing to hear it.

On September 19 at AAHA Con, Dr. Thompson presents "Transformational Success in Practice, introducing the Veterinary Efficiency Index as a way to measure what sustainable growth actually looks like." Details here: https://c.aaha.org/_widgets/10680/agenda/228809/large/session_popup/63286882/4/eng/false/90369

Dr. Thompson credits part of Country Hills' growth to the perspective he has gained through his VMG peer group, connecting with other veterinary leaders and bringing outside ideas back to his own team. You can experience that kind of life-changing connection for your own practice. Join VMG and learn alongside transformational leaders like Dr. Thompson. https://www.myvmg.com

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and inventory management represent one of the most significant, yet highly manageable, components of your P&L. By keeping emotion out of your ordering and tightening up your inventory protocols, you can drop substantial dollars directly into your EBITDA. This gives your practice the financial flexibility to pay your staff more, control your client fees, or command a much higher return when you eventually choose to sell. Check out Episode 5 of "The Stethoscope and the Spreadsheet" podcast with guest Emmitt Nantz from Inventory Ally: https://www.myvmg.com/podcasts/

Twenty-five years ago, September 11 changed our country in ways that are still felt today.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and countless others who answered an unimaginable moment with courage and selflessness.

A quarter century is a long time, and for a growing number of Americans, September 11 is history rather than memory. That makes remembrance all the more important.

Today, we honor those we lost, those who served, and those who carried the weight of that day in the years that followed.

May we also remember the humanity, compassion, and sense of shared purpose that emerged in its aftermath—and recognize that those qualities remain as important today as they were then.

Breaking the Silence in Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary professionals aren't immune to mental health struggles. Long hours. Emotional fatigue. The constant weight of caring for animals and the people who love them. It can feel isolating.

But talking about it saves lives.

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, check in on a colleague. Ask twice. Let's break the stigma and remind each other: it's okay to not be okay.
