Almost done with September

Hey everyone!

I hope that everyone is doing well and I hope that everyone is recovering from all that rain that we had! I have never seen anything like that. We had over 5 feet of water in our PetWell parking lot but I cant complain compared to what some people are dealing with.

Things are going well from a business standpoint and I am really thankful for all the new pets we met this month.

We have decided to start a re-FUR-al progam at PetWell. We will be offering $25 to clients who are given credit for referring new clients to our location. This can be spent at our business on any services that you would like. Refer enough people and you could get a yearly exam with vaccination on the house :)

Keep your eyes peeled for the mailers that we sent out too. These were sent to 2000 people in our area and they are worth $25 toward services too.

We are working toward setting up and sponsoring treat stations at a few of the nearby pet friendly apartment complexes. We will have fliers and price schedules available for everyone too.

Finally, keep a look out for our new street signage that should be out by the end of next week.

If you have any ideas about how PetWell can improve or increase our community presence please let us know. I really enjoy going to events and schools just to talk about PetWell or Veterinary Medicine in general!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and stay dry!

Already in September!

Wow! I cant believe we've already been open for 2 months! What a great 2 months it has been. We have met many wonderful people and we have met many wonderful pets! I am very excited about the relationships that my staff and I have developed with all of our clients and we are looking forward to fostering those relationships into the future :)

July was a great month at PetWell. We hit the ground running on July 6th and things were very busy for the entire month. We did some very routine things in July and we did some not-so-routine things in July. There were several emergencies including a venomous snake bite and a GDV (bloat) and I am very proud to say that our team fielded all concerns efficiently and compassionately. Both of the afore mentioned emergencies were life threatening and both patients went home with an excellent prognosis :)

Things slowed down a bit in August as people were getting ready to go back to school. We did our first state funded procedures in August including a canine spay and a canine neuter. PetWell is one of only a few clinics in Atlanta that can offer the services of an accredited veterinarian. Accredited veterinarians have the authority to sign off on interstate and international travel certificates. Accredited veterinarians are also the only ones that have access to the funds collected by the state for the spay and neuter license plates. I can do up to three state funded procedures per month!

Thankfully things have started to pick up again in September. We can only clean the hospital so many times! :) Hopefully you'll appreciate how clean and tidy things are when you come in...My staff had of alot practice cleaning during the down time in August!

I have put "contribute blog entry" on my weekly calendar for Fridays so look for some more news next week!

Have a great holiday,

Brian
