00:00:00.003 --> 00:00:00.940
Hi everyone,

00:00:00.940 --> 00:00:02.357
and welcome to my video

00:00:02.357 --> 00:00:05.630
on how you can help this channel grow
and why.

00:00:05.970 --> 00:00:08.874
Now, before we get going,
I'm going to ask you all

00:00:08.874 --> 00:00:12.358
to hit like, and share this video
with anyone who you feel

00:00:12.358 --> 00:00:13.930
is going to be interested in it,

00:00:13.930 --> 00:00:17.752
as well as to squish 
that bell notification icon,

00:00:17.752 --> 00:00:19.931
right after petting 
the subscription button

00:00:20.015 --> 00:00:21.740
so we can see more of each other

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:24.275
and that's the obvious way 
to help this channel grow,

00:00:24.275 --> 00:00:26.245
but that's not why I'm making this video.

00:00:26.245 --> 00:00:29.168
Unfortunately, pets don't come 
with a manual when we get them

00:00:29.168 --> 00:00:32.045
and there's no real education
for pet owners,

00:00:32.045 --> 00:00:35.289
although I am working on a series
of online courses for pet owners

00:00:35.289 --> 00:00:38.348
that I hope would provide that,
but those are at least a year out

00:00:38.348 --> 00:00:41.004
from being completed,
so for now, there's nothing like that.

00:00:41.004 --> 00:00:43.569
Most of us just get a pet
and we rely on what we learn

00:00:43.569 --> 00:00:45.958
from our parents, from our childhood,
or from the internet

00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:47.477
on how to take care of them.

00:00:47.477 --> 00:00:50.841
Now, the TLDR version 
is I started a clips channel

00:00:50.841 --> 00:00:55.661
we're are going to go short videos,
clips from my longer form content

00:00:55.661 --> 00:01:00.629
as well as some original cute cats
and stuff called HVVet clips

00:01:00.709 --> 00:01:03.366
and the link to it is 
in the description below,

00:01:03.366 --> 00:01:06.886
so please go ahead and click on that
and hit subscribe to that channel,

00:01:06.886 --> 00:01:09.795
hit the bell notification icon,
like the videos on it

00:01:09.795 --> 00:01:12.809
and help me kickstart it
so that the YouTube algorithm

00:01:12.809 --> 00:01:14.091
can take it from there.

00:01:14.091 --> 00:01:17.875
Now, here is why you should
take time out of your very, very busy day

00:01:17.875 --> 00:01:20.860
to click on a link
and subscribe to a channel

00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:27.116
and help it grow
and bring more eyes to my content,

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.117
and the simple reason is
that my content is helpful.

00:01:31.814 --> 00:01:37.208
The videos I make provide information
that makes the lives of animals better

00:01:37.208 --> 00:01:41.876
by giving the people who love them,
the tools and information and knowledge

00:01:41.876 --> 00:01:44.610
that they need to better take care 
of their furry friends

00:01:44.610 --> 00:01:47.425
and I do this for free
and I make this available to everyone

00:01:47.425 --> 00:01:48.531
in the world.

00:01:48.638 --> 00:01:52.090
My channel is on YouTube,
YouTube is visible by people

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:56.666
in countries where modern veterinary care,
the way we understand it in the west,

00:01:56.666 --> 00:01:57.913
doesn't exist.

00:01:58.660 --> 00:02:01.420
After all the veterinary professions,

00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:03.895
specifically the small animal 
veterinary profession,

00:02:03.895 --> 00:02:10.150
doesn't really exist in the same way 
it does in North America, UK, Australia

00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:12.067
and very many other places.

00:02:12.067 --> 00:02:15.641
So by making this content available,
we can help people

00:02:15.641 --> 00:02:19.643
who live in developing countries,
who are still interested in pets welfare,

00:02:19.643 --> 00:02:21.707
take care of their pets better
and that's amazing,

00:02:21.707 --> 00:02:24.228
but we can also help people
here in the West,

00:02:24.228 --> 00:02:27.310
you know North America,
not everybody can afford to go to the vet

00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:29.127
or not as often as they should.

00:02:29.127 --> 00:02:31.536
Not everybody has access to vet clinic

00:02:31.536 --> 00:02:34.441
where they have the luxury of time
to spend with them.

00:02:34.441 --> 00:02:37.744
For example, at my own practice,
our consultation are 40 minutes

00:02:37.937 --> 00:02:39.320
and then there is often-

00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:42.002
if there is a problem identifying,
there's a follow-up phone call

00:02:42.002 --> 00:02:46.032
where either I or one of my colleagues
takes other 40 to 60 minutes

00:02:46.032 --> 00:02:47.850
to talk about things with the client,

00:02:47.850 --> 00:02:51.433
so we usually spend 
like anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours

00:02:51.793 --> 00:02:53.340
talking with the client

00:02:53.470 --> 00:02:56.113
whenever there is
any kind of issue with their pet.

00:02:56.113 --> 00:02:58.673
Now the industry standard 
for veterinary consultation

00:02:58.673 --> 00:03:01.618
is 15 to 20 minutes
and some clinics

00:03:01.618 --> 00:03:03.048
do phone calls and some don't.

00:03:03.048 --> 00:03:08.778
Not every veterinarian
has a luxury of time and circumstance

00:03:08.778 --> 00:03:12.177
to provide the kind of information,
that we know we need to,

00:03:12.177 --> 00:03:16.531
to provide the level of detail
that I would like every pet owner to have,

00:03:16.635 --> 00:03:18.268
so that they can make rational,

00:03:18.268 --> 00:03:21.345
intelligent, educated decisions
about their pet's welfare

00:03:21.345 --> 00:03:25.110
and I think it makes life better
for everyone who cares about animals.

00:03:25.110 --> 00:03:28.929
That is the value that I feel
that my channel brings to the world

00:03:28.929 --> 00:03:31.163
and I make my videos in a way
that-

00:03:31.163 --> 00:03:35.368
I image it being used
as consult room tools.

00:03:35.368 --> 00:03:38.149
[To Claudia] Claudia, why do you have
to sit in from of me?

00:03:38.149 --> 00:03:39.641
Can you sit slightly this side?

00:03:39.641 --> 00:03:40.508
Thank you.

00:03:40.630 --> 00:03:44.340
I make my videos so that it can be used
as consult room tools

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:47.690
so they can be something
that a veterinarian refers their client to

00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:51.078
so that when they don't have the time,
that they really feel the need

00:03:51.078 --> 00:03:54.511
to take with the case,
they can utilize these videos

00:03:54.511 --> 00:03:58.145
as a tool to create that value
for the client-

00:03:58.145 --> 00:04:01.522
that care for the client and the patient,
that they could otherwise

00:04:01.713 --> 00:04:04.274
and in my own practices,
me and my colleagues

00:04:04.274 --> 00:04:06.857
definitely use these videos,
we offer clients to them

00:04:06.857 --> 00:04:10.121
and the clients are very, very happy
that we do

00:04:10.121 --> 00:04:12.765
and they can always phone us,
if they have any questions

00:04:12.765 --> 00:04:13.677
or any follow-ups.

00:04:13.677 --> 00:04:16.427
So, these are really, 
really valuable consult room tools

00:04:16.427 --> 00:04:19.904
and they are valuable at home tools
as well,

00:04:19.904 --> 00:04:23.938
cause let's face it, you probably remember
about 20% of what a doctor tells you

00:04:23.938 --> 00:04:26.910
during a doctor visit
and every time you get home, it's all gone

00:04:26.910 --> 00:04:29.593
so it's really nice to have references
when you get home.

00:04:29.593 --> 00:04:33.123
You can do some good in the world
by getting my videos in front of the eyes

00:04:33.123 --> 00:04:35.409
of more people
who have pets and love them

00:04:35.409 --> 00:04:39.234
and want to take better care of them
and again, the way to do it

00:04:39.234 --> 00:04:41.515
besides the straight forward process 
of liking,

00:04:41.515 --> 00:04:43.408
and subscribing to my main channel,

00:04:43.514 --> 00:04:46.619
is to utilize and help me leverage 
the YouTube algorithm

00:04:46.717 --> 00:04:49.331
by going to that clips channel
that we just started,

00:04:49.333 --> 00:04:53.813
again, the link is in the description below
and to subscribe to that,

00:04:53.857 --> 00:04:58.380
like it, share it but mostly subscribe
and hit that notification icon

00:04:58.513 --> 00:05:01.277
and just let the YouTube algorithm 
do the rest

00:05:01.277 --> 00:05:05.032
and that will get my content
in front of more eyes

00:05:05.032 --> 00:05:08.266
and redirect more people
to my main channel

00:05:08.266 --> 00:05:10.935
where they can learn
about how to take care of their pets

00:05:10.935 --> 00:05:12.955
and then everybody's life 
gets a little bit better.

00:05:12.955 --> 00:05:14.470
Thank you very much
for watching, guys!

00:05:14.470 --> 00:05:15.717
Thank you for your assistance

00:05:15.717 --> 00:05:18.804
and I hope to see you soon 
with more helpful videos.

00:05:21.221 --> 00:05:25.188
