October Vet Playbook: WSAVA Takeaways, World Pet Obesity Week Tools, and Vet Tech Appreciation
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
October is stacked for veterinary teams. In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, share a rapid “what to do now” briefing after returning from the annual WSAVA conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. You’ll hear global perspectives on credentialing and utilization of veterinary nurses/technicians, why international collaboration matters, and how organized medicine can accelerate change.
Then the focus shifts to World Pet Obesity Week (October 6–12) with a clear call to action: take and share the profession’s opinion survey, and use the updated feeding, calorie, and step-weight loss calculators, along with a ready-to-post clinic toolkit for client education.
Finally, the episode tees up National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week (“Path to Success,” October 12–18), with practical ideas to recognize credentialed technicians and strengthen team culture.
You’ll also get info for upcoming WSAVA meetings (Warsaw, then India) and a reminder that small, consistent advocacy inside your clinic compounds into profession-wide progress.
If you want one episode that translates October’s veterinary calendar into concrete steps for patient care, culture, and communication, this is it.
