Supporting clearer veterinary communication

Clarity when it matters most.

What I do

I help veterinary practices turn existing client information into clear, practical guides that lead to better compliance, fewer follow-up calls and improved client confidence.

Re-write of one client information sheet (up to 2 A4 pages): from £120

Prices vary depending on the level of restructuring or design required. A fixed quote is always agreed before work begins.

I take on a limited number of rewrites each month to ensure quality and a fast turnaround (3–5 working days).

To get a fixed quote, email your information sheet to hello@shapingwords.co.uk and I’ll reply within 24 hours

Clear communication is a vital part of veterinary care, yet even when explanations are accurate and well intentioned, information doesn’t always translate into understanding once a client leaves the consultation room.

This short video explores why information can be “lost in translation” after a consultation, and how changes to language, structure, and visual hierarchy can help information recall and support better outcomes for animals and the people caring for them.
