Friends of VetBooks
Who We Endorse
We’ve been in the veterinary industry for a LONG time. We know and like a lot of people. The friends listed on this page are not only people we’ve known for a long time but also people we trust. As a reminder, relationships aren’t one-size-fits-all. Just because we like these people doesn’t mean they’re an automatic fit for your business. We don’t endorse their work. We don’t endorse their pricing. We don’t endorse their skills. We DO endorse them as good, kind, and honest human beings – which is a great start.
