More news and pictures

Hey Everyone!

Things have been going very well at PetWell. So many things have taken place since my last post. We have received our certificate of occupancy and we have decided upon an opening date: July 6th! Inventory orders have been arriving daily and we are stocking our shelves getting ready for the big day.

Here are some new pictures: These are of our Special Procedures suite. The first picture is from the hall way looking INTO the suite. This room is ventilated separately from all of the other rooms in the hospital. This is where our dental cleanings will be done and this is where dental radiographs will be taken. Ultrasound will be preformed in this suite and this room can even be transformed into an isolation ward if necessary.



This is a view inside the suite. The tub is about 17 inches deep incase one of our patients needs a bath before leaving. The cabinetry was designed specially to house the dental xray unit (above) and the dental cleaning unit on the right (underneath). There are oxygen and anesthesia scavenging units in the ceiling as well as space for a large bank of dens.


We have started to take appointments reservations today for our opening day (July 6th) and beyond. We cant wait to hear from you :)
More pictures soon!

Finally, some pictures :)

OK! Here are some pictures of our Lobby. Things aren't TOTALLY done but we're pretty close.
Picture number was taken just inside the door that connects our lobby to the Wag-a-lot lobby. This door is going to be open at all times during business hours to provide easy access from our reception area to Wag-a-lot's retail area.

The second picture is from the same point in our lobby. I have turned 90 degrees to the left and I am looking out the front door into the parking lot in front of the building. You can see a small portion of the front desk on the left...

The next photo was taken facing toward the door that leads out of our lobby into the back part of the hospital. This door provides access to the lab/pharmacy, treatment area, surgical suite, ICU and cat ward. The door on the right side of this nook (barely visible) goes into exam room number one. The door on the left side of the nook goes into exam room two...

Next is a wider angle of the same space. This photo allows you to visualize more of the front desk. Ultimately, the blue wall will be lined with comfortable chairs.


Finally, this picture is taken facing the front desk from a central point in the lobby. Unseen in the this photo is the front door immediately to my right and the entrance into the Wag-a-lot lobby which is directly behind me.


Isn't it fantastic?! We are very proud of how things are turning out and we are looking forward to showing everyone around in the near future. I hope you enjoyed the tour of our lobby and I will continue the tour tomorrow with photos of our special procedures area. Take care until then!

Thursday 6/4

Hi Everyone! I have been shaking hands with alot of people over at Wag-a-lot. I can't wait to start seeing patients! Everyone that I have met has been very nice and everyone seems to be just as excited about the clinic opening as I am :) Things are going really well - It's really interesting how many horror stories I have heard regarding construction projects like this one. It's interesting because I havn't experienced one problem. Things are on schedule and we are under budget!!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience - I plan on transferring this great experience that I am having with the construction of PetWell Veterinary Healthcare to all of our clients :)

Today, at the construction site, all of the millwork and cabinetry was completed. Our wet-tables have been installed and most of the recovery suites have been installed in our ICU. We have running water and our own power! All very exciting!! I am being told that we should have our certificate of occupancy be next week :)

Most of the equipment has arrived and next on the agenda is inventory. As you can imagine this is all very motivating.

Thats all for now and I hope you all have a great evening...
