We created Vetcove Discuss because we know how incredibly challenging it is to run (and support) a veterinary practice! There's so much that goes into acquiring and serving customers, managing a team, purchasing inventory, and keeping the practice profitable that it can sometimes necesitate using additional resources. 

For the first time, our community of veterinary purchasers and owners have a place to talk candidly about anything and everything related to this industry. We decided to make discussions completely anonymous, to encourage the type of honest and open discussion that exists nowhere else in the veterinary world. However, should you so choose to share your identity it is not against the rules whatsoever! 

Every Vetcove user has access to our discussion forums. After logging in to your Vetcove account, you can create your anonymous identity by first navigating to the "Discuss" tab in the navigation bar, then clicking on the "Settings" tab in the blue header. This will bring up a box where you can create your anonymous identity. Your identity will consist of an animal, a color, and a username, along with your credentials and state. Once you create your identity, it is unique to you.

You can create a discussion at any time by clicking on the "New" or "Discuss" buttons in the blue header bar. Choose a title for your discussion that is a concise description for the discussion you wish to generate, pick a category that most closely aligns with your topic, then write the actual text of your discussion. Discussions can be anything: questions, information, links, gifs, pictures, and more!
