I wasn&#39;t running it a company came in to do it but both me and the practice vet/owner were there and the clients loved it. We had some really nice informal chats with the owners not just discussing the puppies and they really enjoyed it.</p> <p>I think Vets should be more present in somethings as it helps bond clients and they get to meet the more human side of a Vet, but I do agree they shouldn&#39;t take over from you as you have more experience running these than them. Would they do that?</p> <p>You might find it works out?! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
