Low Cost Care: Shouldn't Mean Low Quality Care featuring Robin Post (RVT)

This week, Tabitha is joined by RVT Robin Post, co-founder of Animal Fix Clinic. Animal Fix Clinic believes every animal and every family deserves the best veterinary care. They offer spay and neuter surgeries and other essential surgical care, all at sliding-scale pricing. They are also working to change the myth that low cost care means low quality care (ie not using pain medications, managing pain and anxiety, etc) and are one of the first low cost fear free certified practices! Robin and I discuss the challenges her clients face and address the myth that if people can not afford pets, they don’t deserve them as well as offer advice for other animal professionals who are working in similar situations. Robin Post, RVT, started her medical career as a veterinary assistant in the shelter medicine department of the San Francisco SPCA. She then assumed a supervisory role in the SF SPCA spay/neuter clinic. Before joining Animal Fix Clinic, Robin was the supervisor of Off-Site Spay-Neuter Services, where she coordinated large off-site spay/neuter clinics for the public and helped develop spay/neuter programs at municipal shelters. Robin provides training to local HVHQSN clinics to teach best practices in a high-volume setting as well as other life-saving surgeries.  She is also a reserve field technician for HSVMA–RAVS,  Robin is also a Level 2 Fear Free Certified Professional.Episode Documentation: CRI GuideSupport Robin: Animal Fix Clinic Support the show : Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | EmailSupport Tabitha's work via social media:TikTok: @behaviorvettechFacebook and InstagramSupport the podcast via social media:X: https://twitter.com/TailsFromRVTFB: https://www.facebook.com/TailsFromAVetTechPodcastIG: https://www.instagram.com/tailsfromavettech
