Hi everyone,

and welcome to my video

on how you can help this channel grow
and why.

Now, before we get going,
I'm going to ask you all

to hit like, and share this video
with anyone who you feel

is going to be interested in it,

as well as to squish 
that bell notification icon,

right after petting 
the subscription button

so we can see more of each other

and that's the obvious way 
to help this channel grow,

but that's not why I'm making this video.

Unfortunately, pets don't come 
with a manual when we get them

and there's no real education
for pet owners,

although I am working on a series
of online courses for pet owners

that I hope would provide that,
but those are at least a year out

from being completed,
so for now, there's nothing like that.

Most of us just get a pet
and we rely on what we learn

from our parents, from our childhood,
or from the internet

on how to take care of them.

Now, the TLDR version 
is I started a clips channel

we're are going to go short videos,
clips from my longer form content

as well as some original cute cats
and stuff called HVVet clips

and the link to it is 
in the description below,

so please go ahead and click on that
and hit subscribe to that channel,

hit the bell notification icon,
like the videos on it

and help me kickstart it
so that the YouTube algorithm

can take it from there.

Now, here is why you should
take time out of your very, very busy day

to click on a link
and subscribe to a channel

and help it grow
and bring more eyes to my content,

and the simple reason is
that my content is helpful.

The videos I make provide information
that makes the lives of animals better

by giving the people who love them,
the tools and information and knowledge

that they need to better take care 
of their furry friends

and I do this for free
and I make this available to everyone

in the world.

My channel is on YouTube,
YouTube is visible by people

in countries where modern veterinary care,
the way we understand it in the west,

doesn't exist.

After all the veterinary professions,

specifically the small animal 
veterinary profession,

doesn't really exist in the same way 
it does in North America, UK, Australia

and very many other places.

So by making this content available,
we can help people

who live in developing countries,
who are still interested in pets welfare,

take care of their pets better
and that's amazing,

but we can also help people
here in the West,

you know North America,
not everybody can afford to go to the vet

or not as often as they should.

Not everybody has access to vet clinic

where they have the luxury of time
to spend with them.

For example, at my own practice,
our consultation are 40 minutes

and then there is often-

if there is a problem identifying,
there's a follow-up phone call

where either I or one of my colleagues
takes other 40 to 60 minutes

to talk about things with the client,

so we usually spend 
like anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours

talking with the client

whenever there is
any kind of issue with their pet.

Now the industry standard 
for veterinary consultation

is 15 to 20 minutes
and some clinics

do phone calls and some don't.

Not every veterinarian
has a luxury of time and circumstance

to provide the kind of information,
that we know we need to,

to provide the level of detail
that I would like every pet owner to have,

so that they can make rational,

intelligent, educated decisions
about their pet's welfare

and I think it makes life better
for everyone who cares about animals.

That is the value that I feel
that my channel brings to the world

and I make my videos in a way
that-

I image it being used
as consult room tools.

[To Claudia] Claudia, why do you have
to sit in from of me?

Can you sit slightly this side?

Thank you.

I make my videos so that it can be used
as consult room tools

so they can be something
that a veterinarian refers their client to

so that when they don't have the time,
that they really feel the need

to take with the case,
they can utilize these videos

as a tool to create that value
for the client-

that care for the client and the patient,
that they could otherwise

and in my own practices,
me and my colleagues

definitely use these videos,
we offer clients to them

and the clients are very, very happy
that we do

and they can always phone us,
if they have any questions

or any follow-ups.

So, these are really, 
really valuable consult room tools

and they are valuable at home tools
as well,

cause let's face it, you probably remember
about 20% of what a doctor tells you

during a doctor visit
and every time you get home, it's all gone

so it's really nice to have references
when you get home.

You can do some good in the world
by getting my videos in front of the eyes

of more people
who have pets and love them

and want to take better care of them
and again, the way to do it

besides the straight forward process 
of liking,

and subscribing to my main channel,

is to utilize and help me leverage 
the YouTube algorithm

by going to that clips channel
that we just started,

again, the link is in the description below
and to subscribe to that,

like it, share it but mostly subscribe
and hit that notification icon

and just let the YouTube algorithm 
do the rest

and that will get my content
in front of more eyes

and redirect more people
to my main channel

where they can learn
about how to take care of their pets

and then everybody's life 
gets a little bit better.

Thank you very much
for watching, guys!

Thank you for your assistance

and I hope to see you soon 
with more helpful videos.
