What is VPMU Live?
VPMU "aka" Veterinary Practice Managers United
began as a Facebook Group for veterinary
practice managers and leaders who knew there
had to be a better way - leaders ready to share
what actually worked while building practices
with duct tape, creativity, and sheer determination.We needed a space that matched the reality of managing
modern vet teams - messy, complex, and constantly evolving.
So we built one where real conversations could happen.
Where veterinary leaders could learn from each other and from
innovative minds outside our industry who've cracked the code
on the same challenges we face.No corporate filter. No credential gatekeeping.
Just practical solutions, shared experiences,
and the occasional unhinged meme.Over time, that space grew into something much bigger.Thousands of members now share workflows, tech hacks,
leadership wins, and gut-level challenges in a way that’s
honest, raw, and deeply supportive.VPMU Live is the natural next step:
The same energy, the same people, but face-to-face and ready to build the next evolution of vet med leadership together.
