Vetz Magazine is also announced the launch of Vetzmagazine.com where veterinarians and staff members can find breaking news, product announcements, company announcements and issues of the month sent from peers in the industry.

Vetz Magazine Publisher Stephen May commented on the launch in an editorial: "One interesting fact that you have made clear is that while veterinary medicine continues to advance, so does the veterinarian's entire lifestyle. Change can be a good thing; however keeping up with life's challenges, family commitments, personal health, and daily veterinary practice is ongoing. VETZ magazine evolves from our desire to provide a comprehensive, one-stop source for inspiration and information. In VETZ magazine we will provide insight for practitioners on the combination of practice management and serious life issues that only a veterinarian experiences. VETZ magazine will present a format that is concise and solution driven."
