Veterinary Recruiting Expert Releases Essential Guide to Building Strong, Sustainable Practice Teams
San Diego, CA – January 26, 2026 – In response to the ongoing staffing crisis facing veterinary medicine, veteran recruiter and industry leader Gwendolyn Lowder Delavar, CPVR, announces the release of her new book, “Your Veterinary Dream Team: A Practical Guide to Attracting and Retaining Top Talent.” The book provides a clear and actionable roadmap for veterinary practice owners, managers, and recruiters who are committed to building high-performing teams in today’s highly competitive talent market.
Finding and keeping great veterinarians, technicians, and support staff has never been more difficult. With demand for qualified professionals far outpacing supply, practices can no longer rely on outdated hiring methods or hope for the right candidate to appear. In “Your Veterinary Dream Team,” Delavar draws on more than 30 years of hands-on experience in veterinary recruiting to deliver proven strategies that work in real-world practice settings.
“This book was written for leaders who are tired of reacting to staffing shortages and ready to take control of their hiring outcomes,” said Delavar. “Recruiting in veterinary medicine has become a leadership skill. When it’s done thoughtfully and strategically, it can transform not only a practice’s team, but its culture, profitability, and quality of care.”
Through clear guidance and practical tools, readers will learn how to:
- Write job postings that attract qualified veterinary candidates
- Screen resumes and evaluate culture fit with confidence
- Conduct interviews that reveal true strengths and motivations
- Partner effectively with external recruiters when appropriate
- Build long-term retention strategies that keep top talent engaged and loyal
Packed with real-world insights, ethical recruiting principles, and actionable templates, “Your Veterinary Dream Team” helps practices move from constant turnover to stability and growth. Whether managing a single clinic or leading a multi-hospital organization, readers will gain the tools needed to recruit smarter, hire better, and retain longer.
