Examined the impact of client financial limitations on treatment decisions.
Assessed differences in care approaches for chronic and relapsing conditions.
Identified significant influence of client financial constraints on treatment options provided.
Highlighted variability in prescribed care strategies among veterinarians based on financial considerations.
Revealed gaps in veterinary education regarding the implications of financial factors in clinical decision-making.
Abstract
A better understanding of veterinarians' diagnostic and prescribing behavior can improve veterinary education on spectrum-of-care decision-making for canine atopic dermatitis.
