Financial clarity built for NY vets

The Sabadoodle 90‑Day Money Mentorship program helps you navigate debt, set goals, and make financial decisions with confidence. 

NYSVMS partnered with Sabadoodle founder Mike Sabatino, CFP®, CSLP®, to pioneer a personalized, veterinary-specific mentorship program—right here in New York. The results have been remarkable: reduced stress, real financial progress, and life-changing clarity for members navigating debt and planning their futures.

What makes our 90-day financial mentoring program so worthwhile

Read what are participants have to say about how the financial program helped them set their working careers off to a great start, and will help them meet their lifetime goals.

This mentorship had exceeded my expectations. I have taken a few financial and business courses already and I was originally afraid I would not learn much from this mentorship. I was curious to see what Sabadoodle had to offer so I tried it out anyway. It was one of the best decisions I have made! What I did not expect was that I would learn so much about my habits and also work on them practically and actively. I had tried to budget multiple times and failed before in my life, never had an emergency fund, and never thought about investing right out of vet school. Three months later, I now have an active budget, have an emergency fund, and am starting to invest! If you want to take control and care of your financial life, this is the place to go!

The Money Mentorship program has helped me feel more in control of my finances. It has changed the way I look at money and my savings and has made me hopeful about achieving my financial goals. The program made me more aware of my monthly spending and how much I really have to put aside for saving. It helped me break down and organize my goals into more achievable categories. And it taught me how to organize my money into savings and investments to grow that money faster. Every new vet should take this course!

Student loans were a major concern for me upon graduating vet school. I knew I wanted to pursue the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, but I didn’t know where to start to get to that end goal. I didn’t grow up with a strong financial background or understanding, but this program made me more confident in managing my finances. It isn’t about just learning to save, but learning about applying techniques to achieve financial success for yourself.

I had a great experience with the Money Mentorship program. Mike was so helpful in guiding me through each module, providing feedback and support, and answering any of my questions. The modules and associated exercises helped strengthen my knowledge of my financial situation, allowing me to better plan for paying down debt and saving for my personal goals. I really appreciated that this program was geared towards veterinarians, as we have some unique financial considerations to take into account. I highly recommend this course – I learned a lot and I feel more confident in how I approach my finances moving forward.

Why early-career vets choose Sabadoodle

Veterinarians turn to Sabadoodle because:

  • They feel paralyzed by student loans and uncertain about repayment options
  • They don’t know what to do with money building in a savings account
  • They are too busy caring for patients to figure out complex financial decisions
  • They are frustrated with conflicting financial advice
  • The feel practice ownership is out of reach. (Hint: It isn’t)

Without clear financial direction

  • You might miss critical planning opportunities in your early career
  • Your student debt could prevent you from buying a home or owning a practice
  • You could make costly financial mistakes that take years to correct
  • Your savings might languish in low-interest accounts while inflation erodes their value
