I think a good way to start is perhaps with flea and worm consults - to give advise, check for fleas and apply/give treatment to gain convidence (of course they have to have been seen by a vet in the last 12 months!)
Maybe your flea/worm rep can help with that?

Also post-op checks (2 and 10/14 days) are really good

New pup/kitten chats - 30 mins consult where you talk the owner through all the requirements of owning a critter (from vaccs, worm/flea tx, training, grooming/brushing teeth, neutering etc.) We offer this to have straight after their consult with the vet for their 1st/2nd vacc
Royal Canin has good really nice little books for new pup/kitten owners - ask your rep

And off course the nail clips etc.

good luck and if any questions let us know! :)

Hey Megan where are you based? Are you a member of the BVNA? It may be worth getting in touch with your RCO to find out if there any meetings on clinics? My advice would be to make packs ready for your clinics. Weight clinics get your food brand involved and they can really help you. Start by doing some clinics you are happy with and have interest in so maybe puppy parties, dental clinics, diabetic clinics. Then move on to some others like geriatric clinics/pet travel clinics etc.
