Addressing the Preventive Care Gap With Dr. Lea

Veterinarians do not have a crystal ball, but they do have access to the next best thing: wellness diagnostics. In this episode of the Partner Podcast, Dr. Beth sits down with Dr. Christopher Lea to discuss the often-overlooked value of diagnostic screening during annual preventive care visits—even in younger patients. They explore why routine testing matters and share practical tips to help the entire team feel more confident and consistent in recommending wellness diagnostics.
