Collaborative Care is Pet Centered Care

Bringing veterinarians, specialists, and pet owners together

Your Pet's Health, Our Shared Mission

At the Collaborative Care Coalition, we strongly believe that collaboration between primary care veterinarians and specialists is crucial for the health of companion animals.

Just like in human medicine, where primary care physicians refer patients to specialists for complex issues, collaboration allows pets to receive advanced expertise while still relying on their primary veterinarian for general health concerns and preventive care.

Together, we can achieve happier, healthier lives for our furry family members.

Benefits of collaborative care for pets

As a pet owner, you’re not just a caretaker, but an integral part of your pet’s healthcare team. That’s where collaborative veterinary care comes in. This approach brings together pet owners, veterinarians, and other pet health professionals to work as a team. It’s all about open communication, shared decision-making, and a deep respect for the bond between you and your pet.

So, why choose collaborative care? Here are some key benefits:

Better Health Outcomes

When everyone works together, your pet gets comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of their health. This can lead to earlier detection of health issues, more effective treatments, and overall better health outcomes.

Empowered Decision-Making

You know your pet better than anyone else. In collaborative care, your observations and insights are valued and considered in all health decisions. This means you’re actively involved in choosing the best care options for your pet.

Enhanced Understanding

Collaborative care fosters open and ongoing communication with your pet’s healthcare team. This means you’ll have a better understanding of your pet’s health status and the reasons behind specific treatments or procedures. Remember, every pet deserves the best care, and every pet owner deserves to be a part of the process.
