Welcome, intros, watercooler. Where everyone says hi on day one.
Vetch for multi-location practices is now in private beta · Join the waitlist →
Vet community
The Slack vets actually open.
A new Slack for practising vets, techs, and CVPMs to compare notes — on cases, on pricing, on the things consultants can’t answer. Practitioners only. No vendors. Vetch founders show up; they don’t sell.
Free, forever · we verify before the invite · usually one business day

Day one
Founding members shaping it now
Twelve rooms · open by default
Where the work actually gets discussed.
#clinical-casesMost active
Anonymized cases, second opinions, "have you seen this before?" — the busiest room every Tuesday morning.
#practice-management
Pricing, staffing, AR, reviews, vendor evaluations. CVPMs and owners — operational reality, no theory.
#front-desk
Phones, no-shows, difficult clients, scripts that work. Run by front-desk leads, not consultants.
#specialtyDVM-only
Cardio, derm, surgery, oncology, ECC. Episodic case threads, referral letter templates, board-prep banter.
#shelter
Intake, foster matching, capacity-for-care, grant-report war stories. Municipal + non-profit + rescue.
#equine
Field calls, route planning, ambulatory pricing, lameness. The road-warrior channel.
#tech-and-tools
Anesthesia, dental, radiology, lab tech tips. Vet techs and techs-turned-managers run this room.
#leadership
Owners, medical directors, multi-site folks. Hiring, retention, ownership transitions.
#pricing
What you charge for what. Anonymous fee schedules shared monthly. No naming-and-shaming.
#careers
Job postings, open roles, references. The only place vendor recruiting is allowed — under #careers only.
#off-topic
Pets of the week, hiking pics, book recs. The room you read at lunch.
Who it’s for
The mix you’d want at any CE table.
DVMs
GPs, specialists, ER, equine, shelter. Owners, associates, residents — clinical reality, not theory.
Practice managers + CVPMs
The room that actually answers "what do you charge for X" and "how did you fix your no-show rate."
Vet techs + RVTs
Anesthesia, dental, lab, radiology — most-active in #tech-and-tools. CE coordinators welcome.
Also welcome: vet students (free, no questions asked), educators, and the occasional pharmacist or lab director — all verified, all welcome.
House rules
Four rules. That’s it.
Anonymize patient details
No client names, no microchip IDs, no photos that could identify the household. Crop. Redact. Use first name + species + age.
Practitioners only
Practicing vets, vet techs, CVPMs, vet students. No vendors, no consultants pitching, no recruiters outside #careers. We verify.
Vetch founders show up; they don't sell
Our DVM-in-residence and the rest of the team are members. They answer questions in #general the way any other practitioner does. No demos in the channels.
Pricing-channel: anonymous, monthly
Fee schedules are shared anonymously and aggregated monthly so no one practice is exposed. Nothing leaves the channel.
