Vet Times Extra: Talking wellness testing, with Rory Cowlam




Vet Times Extra: Talking wellness testing, with Rory Cowlam

Despite growing interest in preventive care, many veterinary teams face a tough reality: wellness testing isn’t always viable, and the data linking it to better patient outcomes is still emerging.

Yet the logic remains compelling – earlier detection should mean earlier intervention – but should wellness testing become the norm in general practice?

This episode explores the clinical value and operational realities when it comes to replacing the “wait and see” with “track and find out”.
