- Abstract
There is a dizzying array of home care products and aids available for veterinary clients to use for their pets. Although it can be confusing for veterinarians to determine which products to use and when, do not leave it up to your clients to decide for themselves. For those animals that need home care, take the time to discuss the situation with the owner and explain what they need to do. Listen to their thoughts and concerns, consider the animal involved, and then customize a program based on the individual situation.
