What should a cost-benefit review of in-house or contracted shelter veterinary services measure?

The report says veterinary services and transportation consume budget and officer time, and recommends analyzing whether hiring or contracting for in-house veterinary services could reduce costs and free officers to address public complaints.

Why this matters

Comparing costs, travel, coverage, and service outcomes can show whether a different care model would make better use of limited staff and public funds.
