Mark Olcott DVM: VitusVet Creating A Better Connection Between Veterinarians and Pet Owners on "Why Do Pets Matter?" hosted by Debra Hamilton #167

Today we're chatting with Mark Olcott, DVM, Co-founder & CEO VitusVet, a Veterinary Practice Management Solution that helps veterinarians use modern technology to improve patient care and grow their business.  Mark, a former partner at a multi-doctor small animal practice, co-founded VitusVet to solve the client-communication problems he saw each day. The company’s goal is very simple: to make it easier for veterinarians and pet owners to share information. Mark (and his company) love pets and believe in advocating for them because they can't speak for themselves.
