Save Our Pets: Sanjit's Weekly Notes #50 | SPECIAL EDITION

7 years ago, I lost my dog due to an ineffective diagnosis and treatment system. Pet healthcare is BROKEN—i̳t̳ ̳a̳l̳w̳a̳y̳s̳ ̳h̳a̳s̳ ̳b̳e̳e̳n̳.

I published SWN #49 (https://lnkd.in/gHuy78Ft) just two days ago, and it's the perfect time to revisit this issue. I want to dedicate my 50th newsletter post to saving our pets through solutions that I'm familiar with - innovation, tech, and philosophy.

Pet healthcare is severely fractured, and this could dissuade people from adopting pets in the future.📉

The sad reality? The pet adoption trend chart might already be on a decline (Evidence: https://lnkd.in/gdxRyD4U).But it doesn’t have to be this way.

📈 As described in SWN #49, a universal medical record system for pets could revolutionize how we manage pet healthcare—and while there are many upsides to such a system, the cost benefits for pet owners might be the most significant.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Reduced Duplicate Testing: Full access to medical history means vets can avoid unnecessary or repeat tests like X-rays and blood work, saving owners from redundant healthcare expenses.

2️⃣ Preventative Care & Early Detection: Comprehensive data and predictive analytics enable early intervention, helping vets catch health issues before they become costly problems.

3️⃣ Optimized Treatment Plans: Access to a pet’s complete medical history allows for the most effective treatments upfront, reducing trial-and-error costs.

4️⃣ Emergency Care Efficiency: Immediate access to records in emergencies ensures that conflicting treatments are avoided, cutting down on time and costs for unnecessary diagnostics.

5️⃣ Discounted Healthcare Plans: With detailed health records, insurance providers can offer better, more personalized premiums, reducing overall healthcare expenses.

6️⃣ Streamlined Prescription Management: Vets can track medication histories, reducing the risk of overprescribing or complications from conflicting medications.

This needs to be talked about way more - WHY?

We live in a world full of global, racial, religious conflict, where senseless wars and violence cause generational trauma. Regardless of what you may choose to believe in — Pets are our last, best hope for unconditional love and emotional relief. They carry no hatred, only healing. It’s time to give them the healthcare system they deserve. Join me, share this - put the word out
