What Members Are Saying

I have been a member of VHA for many years, and its value to my practice just keeps growing. The ability to get group pricing on small quantities of product got me started when my practice was small, and now that it has grown, it still offers great value to us. I was a member of the old Member Services committee for several years, and this virtually unknown group of vets, techs and VHA reps was instrumental in starting the Expo, expanding CE opportunities, and pointing the Group toward what it has become: a valuable resource-laden tool for practices of all sizes. It’s been fun to see it take off. The new management that came in several years ago has done an amazing job expanding the territory, scope, and mission of VHA.
