    PROGRESS

  • Can an existing veterinary facility be used and just staffed for after-hours? We continue to explore all options for securing the facility needed, including leasing a facility (from a vet or other party) or purchasing a facility, and cost and location are both primary considerations.

  • Where will you find veterinarian staff? Mostly through word of mouth and many, many meetings with local veterinarians, retired veterinarians and corporations. Through all these efforts, we have attracted emergency experiences veterinarians that have toured the area and are actively evaluating practice models.
