What is happening between pet clinic visits that the veterinary team needs to know about to provide the best preventive care?

What happens at home between veterinary appointments can reveal just as much about a pet's health as what happens inside the exam room.

In this episode of the Veterinary Business Podcast, Dr. Amanda Landis-Hanna speaks with Dr. Ken Lambrecht, veterinarian, practice owner, entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of Healthy Pet Connect.

Dr. Lambrecht explains how home-generated health data can help veterinary teams identify changes sooner, improve client compliance, and provide more proactive preventive care. The conversation explores pet obesity, feline weight management, nutrition, remote patient monitoring, client communication, and the growing role of technology in connecting pet owners with their veterinary teams.

You will learn:

• Why an occasional clinic weigh-in may not provide enough information to manage a pet's health effectively
• How home scales, smart feeders, activity monitors, and other devices can reveal important health trends
• Why body condition scores, calorie calculations, accurate food measurement, and regular reassessments must work together
• How veterinary teams can help clients manage food-motivated pets and challenging multi-pet households
• How Healthy Pet Connect organizes home health information so veterinary professionals can quickly determine whether a patient is progressing
• What Dr. Lambrecht learned from helping Spudgy, a 37-pound cat, reach a healthy weight of approximately 12 pounds
• How remote monitoring may support pets with obesity, chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and other ongoing health concerns
• How artificial intelligence and better data integration could shape the future of preventive veterinary care

Dr. Lambrecht also shares why successful weight management is rarely about making one recommendation during an appointment. It requires a realistic plan, reliable measurements, ongoing client coaching, and a way for the veterinary team to see what is happening after the patient goes home.

The goal is not to overwhelm veterinary teams with more information. It is to organize the right information into clear trends that can support faster, more confident clinical decisions.
