What is an ounce of prevention worth?

All day every day, we tell people that preventive medicine is the way of the future. But today, Julie and I delved into the numbers so we could FEEL our impact.  Here is what we uncovered:

1. 68% of our patients live to be over 12 years of age (All patients were included, even accidental deaths). Our oldest patient ever was 21 when she died. We lost two this week who were 14 years old.
2. We have not lost a regular patient to a preventable disease, like parvovirus or heartworms in our 13 year history. (The ones that do not see us regularly have not been so lucky).
3. We helped to return a lost patient (that we had microchipped) after 9 months!
