FAQ'S ABOUT NEW VET JUMPSTART GUIDES
What is in these books?
There are two separate books: a GP edition and an ER edition. The GP Edition of our book covers 20 common GP cases that MOST veterinarians will struggle with when they first get out and the ER covers the 20 most common ER cases! We take you through a quick disease overview, common scenarios new vets may not expect to occur, client communication checklists, and more.
​
We also have a quick reference section in the front of the GP book with things like vaccine reaction treatments, CRI calculations, and more. Lastly, there is a lined 'notes section' at the end of each chapter, which allows you to write down your own notes on cases.
What are people's favorite parts in the book?
The client communication boxes that people often forget, the practical treatment plan for nearly every scenario you can think of, the quick reference section in the front of the book for how to treat things like vaccine reactions, and our special 'notes' section in each chapter for you to take your own notes are all favorites.
​
Is this a quick reference book?
Yes and no. You will find some sections are quick and easy to read, but other sections you will want to take the time to read on your own to really digest.
​
Is this book just for new vets?
No!! This book is for everyone. In fact, we find that vet students, new grads, and experienced vets all love it and find value in it!
How did you price this book?
We priced this book at about $3.50/case for the ER book and $5/case, which we felt was fair! The GP book is a bit shorter (but still thorough) and comes out to about $75 USD for the book while the ER book which has specialists and multiple other vets contributing is $99.
​
Where can we buy?
Our book can be found on Barnes and Noble and Amazon. For our international students, Barnes and Noble has often had the best rate!
​
Why should I buy the paperback?
We recommend it because part of the purpose of this book was to allow our readers a book that is a great resource but that they can also 'make their own' with their own notes on cases, tips, etc. Because of that, there are lined note pages for you to write on all throughout our book at the end o We have found that in practice this really helps give you the greatest advantage when things are all in one place.
​
Do you ever run specials?
We do! We will sometimes have promo codes or sell them discounted on Insta (@vetsontherise) that we list every now and then. Be sure to join our email list to stay up to date on them!

Useful from page 1 when they give me the 2.5% dextrose solution that I always have to look up how to make! Even as a vet that's been out of school for 6 years I know I will use this all the time!!

Carrying this around with me everywhere I go now in the clinic. I can give it a quick glance before talking to owners and remember exact points to hit for success on these cases. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
