Abstract
Recent interest in contextualized care (United Kingdom) or spectrum of care (United States) has encouraged veterinary professionals to revisit the concept of shared decision making between the veterinary healthcare team and clients. Using a popular model of shared decision making—choice talk, options talk, and decision talk—can help ensure that clients know they have choices, understand the risks and benefits of each choice, and can participate as much as they would like in deciding the treatment for their pet. Shared decision making helps ensure that clients are informed and satisfied with their treatment choice and that veterinarians are comfortable knowing they have received client consent.
