Confusion over that statement is most likely the stereotypical response if you aren’t included in the millennials. But what if that statement were true?

Convenience, personalization, and instant response through technology are not just preferences for millennials. They are expectations. And frankly, society as a whole is moving in that direction. From online scheduling to text reminders, digital forms, automated follow-ups, and fast access to information, clients are increasingly used to managing their lives through convenient digital touchpoints.

That means those of us in the healthcare profession, including veterinary medicine, have to be prepared to roll with the times – or risk having them steamroll right past us while we are still deciding whether to adapt.

In the coming months and years, personalized veterinary medicine will become increasingly valuable to clients. Pet owners do not only want quality care. They want communication that feels timely, relevant, and tailored to their pet’s needs. They want to feel seen before, during, and after the appointment.

Veterinarians need to maintain their position as the go-to information source in this digital age by meeting clients where they are. For many clients, especially millennials, that means providing information in accessible, convenient, and digitally friendly ways.

Instead of looking at their digital communication strategy as something to be afraid of, veterinarians need to see it as another arm of their reach and their business to support consumers and their clients’ needs.

Technology does not replace the veterinarian-client-patient relationship. When used well, it supports it.
