🚨 Reminder: Office Hours Returns Next Week!
🗓️ July 16 | 12:00 PM ET
🔐 Exclusive to Vet Alliance Members

Join us for our next Office Hours session featuring Dr. Jonas Goring, DVM, General Manager & Director, Commercial Operations, Animalytix.

📈 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝘅: 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
As the veterinary industry continues to evolve, having a clear understanding of the landscape is more valuable than ever. In this session, Dr. Goring will walk us through Vetalytix, a free platform developed by Animalytix, designed to equip veterinary practices with meaningful Canadian data, and practical, time-saving tools. Discover how this resource can help you interpret national trends to inform your understanding and broaden your scope of knowledge. With this lens, you can uncover client and team adherence opportunities, and make confident, data-informed decisions, all while focusing on what matters most - tracking your own practice's performance to determine the best actions for you.
At Vet Alliance, we believe the most important insights come from benchmarking against your own historical data — this session will help you combine that with valuable industry context.

It's been a busy few weeks…
At the end of June, Andrea, Jen, and Senani headed to Victoria, BC for the CVMA Convention — a chance to connect with members and non-members alike, share ideas, and soak in the west coast vibe.
What you didn't see is that Andrea and Senani also extended the trip to include a little behind-the-scenes work for guidED 2025.

Why? Because guidED is headed to Victoria this September, and we're making sure every detail is thoughtfully curated for another unforgettable experience. From scouting unique local touches, to refining the flow of the experience, we're building something special — a leadership experience unlike any other.

📅 Registration is open — this fall, join us on Canada's stunning West Coast for an immersive experience designed to challenge your thinking, connect you with like-minded leaders, and fuel your growth. New place. Fresh perspective. Same commitment to real, relevant leadership.

This week, Vet Alliance attended the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) Convention in Ottawa. As a dedicated advocate for our Vet Alliance members, Senani, our National Director, Engagement and Practice Services, represented our organization. attending in order to hear about some of the most significant topics impacting Canadian Animal Health, including global and national challenges that may impact veterinary business and our ability to deliver care.
Surrounded by leaders from all types of industry stakeholders, Senani was able to hear from experts in a variety of fields, network, and contribute to discussions around things that can affect independently owned veterinary practices and Canadian veterinary professionals (as well as animal health generally).
Vet Alliance is incredibly proud to be the only CAHI member representing independently owned Canadian veterinary hospitals from coast to coast. We take this responsibility seriously. We are also proud to note that Senani is the Chair of the CAHI Communications Committee. In these ways, we seek to take an active role in what happens in, and to, our industry.
Our relationship with CAHI enables us to keep our members informed and connected to relevant industry-related news. It gives us access to important stakeholders, and key experts – including Dr. Catherine Filejski, our recent Office Hours guest speaker.
Senani came back with a wealth of new knowledge that we know will benefit our membership. Want to know more about CAHI? https://cahi-icsa.ca/

Did you know people are constantly assessing your trustworthiness—without even realizing it?

In veterinary medicine, trust isn't a nice-to-have. It affects everything:
✔️ If a client picks up the phone when they're worried... or not
✔️ If important treatment plans are followed... or not
✔️ If a team works well together... or not
✔️ If your work environment feels supportive... or not

But what makes you trust someone? And what signals might you be sending—possibly without realizing it—that shape whether trust is built or broken?

Join us June 5 at 7 PM ET as we explore four key trust signals that shape how others see you—and how you see them. No matter your role or job title, you'll leave with practical tools to build, maintain, and even repair trust with clients, teammates, and yourself.
Trust us—you don't want to miss this one!

Can you be trusted? It's a question every leader needs to ask themselves.
Trust isn't just "nice to have" in vet med—it impacts everything: from your team's morale and client satisfaction to patient outcomes and practice revenue. And it's even more important these days as everything constantly shifts around us.
So… what can you do to build trust as a leader? Do your day-to-day actions & words create an environment where trust is the foundation, or the exception?
Join us on June 11th at 2 pm EST as we explore the four essential behaviours that build—or break—trust. This Collaborative Empowerment session will build on June 5th's TEAM session by digging into what trust really looks like from a leadership lens—and what your team (and clients) need from you to know it's real.

Educators Matter!

Vet Alliance was proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the recent Ontario Vet Tech Educators Conference. This conference unites faculty from programs across the province so that they can learn together, share insights, and build relationships that support veterinary technician students through strong, progressive and sustainable programming. Our National Director, Engagement and Practice Services, (and proud RVT) Senani Ratnayake, was invited to be their Keynote Speaker, and it was extra special for her as this year's event was held at the college she herself graduated from (University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus). Senani spent time with the educators, and also represented us during their exhibit hall, increasing everyone's understanding of all that Vet Alliance has to offer practice teams. The educators loved seeing the variety and scope of CE we offer (along with things like our employee benefits program), and it reinforces for us that we are doing very important work. We support business and team success while allowing veterinary professionals in all roles (including owners) to build competencies and knowledge at every stage of their career.

Thanks so much for the opportunity OVTE!

"WHAT" are you? Have you ever leveraged personality or communication profile assessments with your team? How did it go? Did it appropriately capture who they were, or only tell a portion of the story? Did it resonate well with your team and help them to understand "who" they are, or did it create labels that weren't particularly helpful, only defining "what" they are? Have you avoided doing one because you are concerned about not achieving a constructive and relevant outcome, or having it be something "fun to do" that doesn't really carry any value in the future?
Join us for this session on Wednesday, May 14th from 2-3pm ET, with our National Director, Engagement & Practice Services, Senani Ratnayake. Senani is going to dive into the world of personality and communication assessments, sharing perspectives that will support your ability to make strategic and impactful choices; maximizing outcomes and minimizing risks.
