Experiencing an internal or external theft or significant loss of controlled substances from your practice can elicit all types of emotions; from anger, to fear to betrayal. It’s hard to imagine how you can find the time or resources to deal with a controlled substance issue, when you must manage your practice, see patients, perform surgery and deal with HR issues all day long.

Think of the size of your veterinary practice as a bucket, the hose filling the bucket as revenue, and the ladles removing water from the bucket as costs.
