Practice 911: How to Get Help for Struggling Veterinary Teams
June 10, 2025
How VSS Can Help
Running a veterinary hospital is not an easy feat. Industry-wide staffing shortages, rising client demands, emotional work, and daily “fires” can stress even the most resilient veterinary teams. Practice managers and owners must balance their team’s well-being with patient care and profitability in the face of these challenges.
Hiring outside help can help veterinary team leaders find solutions to these problems. Our Veterinary System Services team partners with veterinary clinics to target and alleviate common practice woes through relief staffing, inventory consulting, and medical-grade laundry services. We help clinics focus on what matters most: delivering outstanding veterinary care. Here’s how we can help.
The consultation process
Before offering any service, we start with a conversation. We come to the table with years of experience and a track record of success. Practices that follow the VSS approach consistently spend less and stress less. However, success is about consistency and not a one-time quick fix, so we’ll work with you to set up processes that help you achieve your goals and prevent problems from resurfacing.
Whether you’re seeking inventory consulting, staffing, or laundry services, VSS helps practice leaders build systems that nourish a healthy workplace. Every consultation is grounded in practical knowledge and delivered with candor, and we never offer cookie-cutter solutions.
Relief staffing to fill in gaps
Hiring the right people is hard, and keeping them is even harder. When veterinary turnover rates rise, many practices are left scrambling to fill gaps on the schedule and prevent burnout in their remaining veterinary team members. Relief staffing from VSS can provide teams with the help they need on busy days or in the absence of key personnel.
We maintain a network of highly skilled professionals, including veterinarians, credentialed veterinary technicians, technician assistants, and customer service representatives. Our professionals aren’t simply warm bodies or extra hands—they’re experienced enough to jump in on the first day and hand-selected based on your needs. To ensure continuity, you can request the same relief team members each time, or offer them a full-time position if you find they’re a good fit all around.
Inventory consulting to empower teams
Inventory is a significant expense and one of the most mismanaged areas of veterinary practice management. Over-ordering, stock-outs, disorganized storage, expired medications, and unclear protocols can quietly drain cash from your bottom line and strain your veterinary team members’ sanity.
VSS offers personalized inventory consulting services that bring clarity, control, and cost savings to your practice. Our consultants help with everything from identifying your most-used products to monitoring controlled substances and learning strategies to streamline ordering and prevent mistakes. We can consult locally or virtually, so you can contact us anytime for additional help.
Medical-grade laundry to reduce workload
How much time does your veterinary team spend doing laundry? If the answer is “too much,” you’re not alone. Keeping towels, gowns, scrubs, and bedding clean, folded, and sterilized is essential for infection control and patient comfort. However, constant laundry strains your hospital’s resources—including staff member time and effort, water and energy bills, and the cost to repair or replace broken equipment.
VSS offers a medical-grade laundry service designed specifically for veterinary clinics in the Denver Metro area. We pick up, wash, sanitize, and return linens on a regular schedule of your choosing, so you’ve got fresh towels stocked at all times.
Our laundry service meets medical sanitation standards, offers flexible service plans, and uses premium-quality linens that hold up to frequent use, making it an easy win for veterinary teams already stretched too thin.
One partner, many solutions
Veterinary System Services exists to help veterinary practices run better, cleaner, and more efficiently. We offer flexible services without locking you into a contract, so you can decide what you need and what you don’t. Reliable staffing, practical veterinary inventory support, and high-quality laundry services take work off your plate so your team can focus on patients, not paperwork or logistics.
