Reflections from AAHA CON 2026
What we heard from veterinarians at AAHA CON 2026 in Portland — from running out of E-collars to controlled substance counts — and how Sitehound Vet helps practices get a real-time handle on inventory.
Portland, Oregon delivered its magical weather, and once again, AAHA CON pulled it off without a hitch. Known for its award-winning keynote speakers, continuing education offerings, and focus group meetings, AAHA is an exciting chance for everyone to meet new people, learn something, and commiserate. Sitehound Vet especially enjoys exhibiting at AAHA CON each year because of the increased opportunities to speak with attendees one-on-one and hear the specific inventory management needs each doctor and their unique practice are facing.
Sitehound Vet heard several disastrous tales (and tails), from "E-collars. My vet hospital ran out of E-collars the other day! How does that happen?" to confessions like, "Of course I count my controlled substances... the law requires it. But other than that, I have no idea what's going on with my inventory."
Sitehound is always listening for the anecdote we haven't heard yet: where can we fill in any missing holes in our system that are specific to veterinarians? While we do have some new things in development, like counting your whole order by simply taking a photo of it, we were pleased to be able to assure potential clients that, "Yes, our product will meet your needs."
It's also satisfying to know that no matter the scenario, Sitehound Vet can help everyone — from the biggest hospital, to the roving vet, to the smallest independently owned practice — get a hold on their inventory in real time. Kiss goodbye to the days of finding that last bottle of rabies vaccine expired on the shelf because someone punctured it four days ago. Let the days when you couldn't find anything because your inventory specialist was out with Covid be bygones.
Sitehound Vet streamlines your inventory operations into a seamless process by empowering every member of your team, from the office manager to the vet tech (and yes, sometimes even the doctors themselves).
