Description

In this thought-provoking episode, Liz Somerville and Liz Daniels dive into the online buzz sparked by Loch Leven Equine Practice’s recent social media post about vet bills — and the debate it ignited.

From pricing myths to the realities behind the scenes, they respond to comments, questions, and strong opinions shared by the equestrian community.

Tune in as we unpack:
• Independent vs corporate vet practices – is one really driving up costs?
• Value vs cost – where does your money actually go?
• Why preventative care is more affordable in the long run
• How “free” human healthcare might be skewing our perception of vet fees
• The power of transparency – even down to the cost of a pair of gloves
• Why positivity online matters more than ever

Whether you're a horse owner, vet professional, or someone who joined the social media discussion, this episode offers a fresh, honest perspective on what veterinary care truly delivers — and why it’s worth every penny.
