The writing in \u201cThe Changing Veterinary Landscape\u201d<\/a> [April\/May 2018] was so jargon-laden and run-on that the article was useless.<\/p>\n

In example No. 1, the last paragraph states, \u201cIn particular, this will result in veterinarians having more access to animals than previously imagined and give them the time to work on unique cases that the other companies are unable to address.\u201d I think the first part meant that veterinarians would have access to more data about their patients. The second part seems to be a non sequitur. There is nothing about having more data that gives a veterinarian more time to work up a case. And who are the \u201cother companies\u201d? DogVacay? Rover? Those aren\u2019t veterinarians, so of course they would be unable to address a medical issue.<\/p>\n

In example No. 2, the run-on sentence \u201cDoing so requires the development of an entrepreneurial mindset that creates opportunities for focused experiments that question value propositions and perpetually iterate on possible solutions in order to focus on areas of greatest value for the client base\u201d is just a mess! What does that even mean?<\/p>\n

There were more examples, but that\u2019s all the time I\u2019m willing to spend on this article.<\/p>\n
