Vetcove Ambassador Spotlight

Meet Angie Werth, Director of Hospital Operations at Gentle Doctor Animal Hospitals, and one of our Cove Crew ambassadors. Angie has been using Vetcove since May of 2018.

Angie’s favorite Vetcove Tip: “I really like the order history. I view by the dates of the previous week to insure I have not forgotten to enter an invoice into our pms!”
Angies’s favorite veterinary life hack: “We use old IV lines to tie in endotracheal tubes.”
Why Angie loves working in the veterinary field: “I started in the practice over 21 years ago as a technician. My job has evolved into working as a hospital director. Most of my job now is behind the scenes work. I make sure everyone has the tools they need to do their jobs effectively. My passion is helping people and the animals they love.”

The Cove Crew is comprised of experienced Vetcove users that are experts in veterinary procurement. Our Cove Crew members are actively involved in the veterinary community, and serve as a resource for other veterinary professionals by sharing their accumulated knowledge in purchasing, inventory, and practice profitability.
