Recognised at this year?s Growing Business Awards as 2015?s Micro Business of the Year, The Mobile Vet has gone from strength to strength since its conception last year, and the Forster?s couldn?t be happier. ?It?s something very different from being recognised by the veterinary sector directly,? co-founder Daniel told Real Business.
?It evidences that we have designed a brand new and sustainably-profitable model which is entrepreneurial and proves that my wife and I have achieved exactly what we have set out to do in business.? Born out of a hesitation to set up a regular veterinary practice and spotting a gap in the market, The Mobile Vet offers a complete mobile veterinary service delivering more than just basic care. Having created a bespoke mobile operating theatre with the entire veterinary surgery housed within it, the couple have improved the standard of veterinary practice on the island. They’ve been able to better serve various types of customer, including visiting dog-owners who may need emergency assistance and elderly and infirmed clients who find it difficult to access veterinary care. As Daniel pointed out: ?Part of being a vet is maintaining animal welfare, which is exactly what we are doing here. Stressed, aggressive and nervous animals benefit significantly from our service.?
