No, you will not have to make any monthly payments before your Wag’n Tails veterinary vehicle is ready for delivery. Wag’n Tails understands how important cash flow is when starting a new business or growing an existing business. Our lead time is approximately 8 weeks from the time of order. We typically always have an inventory of vehicles on our lot ready for customization.
All of our veterinary customers receive a mobile veterinary business success guide. This guide is a time-tested and proven educational resource that teaches veterinarians how to build a successful mobile business. It includes valuable information ranging from pricing strategy to client scheduling and rebooking best practices, marketing and sales techniques, budgeting, vehicle maintenance, and so much more. Wag’n Tails also provides business consulting services to customers in need of additional support. Our mission is to help mobile pet care professionals be successful, and our customers have an excellent track record of achieving their personal and professional goals.
On average, a mobile veterinarian with a Wag’n Tails vehicle charges about 30% more than a veterinarian working in a brick-and-mortar clinic. However, the pricing premium could be higher or lower than the average depending on the demographics of your local market. Mobile veterinary clients are more than willing to pay a premium because mobile services are convenient and time-saving for them and better for their pet(s).
On average, a mobile veterinarian with a Wag’n Tails vehicle sees about 12 pets per day. A mobile veterinarian can afford to see fewer pets daily because a comparable level of revenue can be generated through premium pricing for mobile services. Furthermore, many mobile veterinary clients have multi-pet households, which helps with both travel efficiency and work productivity and often leads to more meaningful time with pet patients/parents and improved work-life balance for mobile veterinarians.
This is a lesson that we learned through years of experience. Large commercial vans are designed to carry the loads needed for mobile veterinary services. They have better suspension than lighter vans and are designed specifically for heavy-duty loads. With the generator and other conversion elements, you need a van that will withstand years of use. One-ton vans are necessary for the durability and longevity of your veterinary vehicle.
Certainly. Wag’n Tails has designed veterinary vehicles that we think are both highly efficient and a pleasure to work in. However, no two veterinarians are alike, so changes to many features are available. An extra charge may apply though depending on the customization.
