Vetstarter: the platform for onboarding, practice management, teamwork
Collaborating instead of just working together
New employees are often full of uncertainty – and you don’t have time to answer every question individually. Vetstarter takes care of the theory, the structure, and the initial practice, all according to your standards. This leaves you with more time for your own tasks.
"Our discussions about the various cases are an enormous enrichment for me.
"What makes this program particularly special for us is the combination of structure, expertise, and genuine personal support. Our employees are met exactly where they are – professionally, emotionally, and in their development. Topics are addressed individually, questions are taken seriously, and are handled in such a way that real added value is created. What is particularly valuable to me is the regular and very clear communication. I know how our employees are developing, without the support losing its sense of trust or appreciation. By now, the program is even a real selling point for us in recruiting: applicants react very positively to the fact that they are not left alone, especially in the initial phase, but receive structured external support. For me, this is modern employee development and at the same time a strong sign of how seriously we take good onboarding and long-term retention."
"I noticed a change right away. I am more confident and can better relate to the patients' owners."
"Hearing that other people had the same insecurities as I did gives me confidence."
"Especially at the beginning, there are plenty of times when you can carry out the program during working hours."
Does this sound familiar to you?
"She asks me something every five minutes – I can't keep up with my own appointments anymore."
"He is often overwhelmed by the patients' possessions and their emotions and expectations."
"We need better practice management, but we don't yet know the best way to go about it."
Situations like this happen often. And now? Now comes Vetstarter! Vetstarter gives new employees the basics before they have to ask you.
Your Platform: Vetstarter
Explain less, practice more
Your new colleague doesn't come with basic questions – she comes ready for practice.
Good conversations with patients
Communication with owners can be practiced. Vetstarter provides this – with role-playing exercises before the first difficult case arises. We are also there for debriefings.
Technical basics without you
What does an X-ray of a gastric volvulus look like? You don't need to discuss that. She already knows that.
ATF hours included
Your new team member earns continuing education hours—organized, documented, and without any extra effort on your part.
Employees who stay
Those who receive good induction are less likely to leave. This is not only what experience shows – it is also supported by the 2022 satisfaction study among veterinarians.
According to your standards
Refunds, billing, practice workflows – we tailor the content to what applies in your practice.
One platform – two programs
Induction
This program is perfect for anyone hiring new veterinary professionals who knows that the first few months determine whether someone will stay—and wants to ensure they do. This program supports participants with everything they encounter in the practice during their first few weeks and months.
Practice Management
This program helps effectively improve practice management – whether in pharmacy management, communication within the team, or with owners.
That's how it works.
Book initial consultation
30 minutes with Frauke – free, no sales pressure, you can ask all your questions here.
Onboarding according to your practice
We adapt the content and pace to your daily life. You stay in control.
Your team is developing
You can see the progress without having to monitor it yourself.
The combination of short, practical theory sessions, flexible scheduling, and, above all, personal interaction with experts and like-minded people makes the training particularly valuable to me.
Hearing that other people had the same insecurities as I did gives me confidence.
Especially at the beginning, there are plenty of times when you can carry out the program during working hours.
Yes. Vetstarter is not a one-size-fits-all program. Referrals back, billing, communication standards – we align them with your workflows.
Vetstarter is based on the current guidelines of the professional societies – from IRIS Staging in kidney disease to the ACVIM Guidelines. The new colleague learns not by gut feeling, but according to the state of the art that you also apply in practice.
Developed by veterinarians with practical experience. Not too theoretical, not too superficial – with a focus on what really matters in everyday practice.
No. You can see at any time what your team member has learned and where they stand. Vetstarter complements your onboarding – it does not replace your judgment.
We will discuss this during the initial consultation, depending on the size of the practice and your needs. What we can say in advance: Most practices offset the costs against the time saved on training.
