In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Burns, veterinarian and fractional veterinary growth strategist, to talk about what is really happening behind the numbers in veterinary practice. Meghan shares what she is seeing across both independent hospitals and corporate groups: revenue that looks “okay” on paper, teams that feel exhausted, and a quiet softening of retention that does not show up until it is already affecting stability and practice value. We dig into why most growth problems are not actually marketing problems, but misalignment between demand, operations, and economics, and how to think differently about new clients, visit frequency, and compliance.
We also talk about the power of CSRs as the true brand of the hospital, the value of networking outside your usual bubble, and what practice owners should focus on if they are even thinking about selling in the next few years. Meghan walks us through early warning signs to watch for, simple ways to make revenue more repeatable, and how to design a client experience that attracts and keeps the right pet owners for the medicine you want to practice. If your numbers look fine but something feels off, this conversation is for you.
