Meet Dr. Candice Vance!
Salon: Vance Veterinary
Unit: Elite Well Pet Vet
For nearly 20 years, Dr. Vance practiced veterinary medicine in a traditional clinical setting. Seeking a cost-effective path to ownership and greater autonomy in her practice, she partnered with Wag’n Tails to bring her dreams of owning a mobile clinic to life.
Within one month of leaving her corporate role, Dr. Vance launched a thriving mobile veterinary practice, offering personalized, one-on-one care that enhances the experience for both pets and their owners.
Meet Dr. Dustin Borth!
Practice: Clay Oak Veterinary
Unit: Elite Well Pet Vet
With a desire to practice medicine outside of the traditional brick-and-mortar veterinary clinic, Dr. Borth began making house calls out of his Ford Escape to see his patients in an environment that was more comfortable for them: their home.
As his at-home venture grew, Dr. Borth knew he needed a mobile solution that allowed him to practice on a larger scale. He partnered with Wag’n Tails to build a fully equipped mobile practice and now runs an incredibly successful business out of Central Florida in which he can practice medicine how he sees fit as opposed to being dictated by corporate policy.
“We are very excited to provide mobile veterinary services in the coastal area to new and existing clients. Mobile services not only relieve stress in pets who do not like to be transported, but these services are also very convenient for pet owners who are unable to easily travel. Mobile services are especially great for clients who would prefer a private visit with their pet’s doctor in the comfort of their own home.”
“There are people in need who can’t come to the clinic, so I go to them. Mobile veterinary services provide a stress-free environment for pets as well as clients. I feel the bond. I feel the love, unconditional love, and I know that pet parents feel the same way. Right now, I’m living my dream.”
“Going mobile has been a big change for me. I used to work 12 hours a day in a large veterinary hospital and rarely had time to even go outside, which was hard for me. Now, I have freedom to set my own schedule, which helps me to have a more balanced life. I focus mostly on wellness care with my mobile practice but have an agreement with a local clinic to perform surgeries there one day a week, which works out really well for everyone.”
“The two hours commuting on top of a 10 to 12-hour workday was creating a taxing situation for my family and me. I wanted to continue practicing veterinary medicine at a level that I had grown to love while still having time to care for my husband and kids. Starting my own mobile veterinary practice has given me the flexibility to do both and not have to sacrifice one at the expense of the other. It has been a life-giving experience.”
