Your Hospital, Our Support
One of the main reasons veterinary professionals decide to partner with VetnCare is the unique business support services that we provide, that as an independent practice you wouldn't have access too. All VetnCare hospitals receive the full repertoire of services outlined below. We can also offer customized service packages to third party hospitals for Marketing, Operations, Human Resource and IT. You get the best of both worlds – running your own practice without the stress of running your business too, allowing you to concentrate on what you trained for – caring for animals.
Acquisitions
Our hospital acquisition team is experienced with selecting, valuing, and closing hospital sales. Once we match a Clinical Director with one of our for-sale hospitals, we work through all steps of the purchase, right up to the first day takeover.
Human Resources
Our HR professionals provide our partners with all aspects of HR, including support to make sure you recruit, train, and retain the best possible team for your practice. The HR team also support you with employment packages, employee relations, company policies and employment guidelines and provide HR related support whenever it is needed. All of our policies and protocols meet or exceed the high standards required in the State of California, one of the toughest HR environments in the world.
Financial Analysis and Accountancy
Financial Analysis is critically important to a new business, carrying substantial loans. Our Financial Team will help you with all of your finance and accounting needs; including monthly financial statements, monthly debt analysis, inventory counts, monthly and yearly benchmarks, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Marketing
We have a dedicated marketing team to help develop high profile, brand building campaigns. We create promotional initiatives and advertising campaigns to help exploit your local marketing opportunities. We look after your reminders, promotions, website, and social media sites to ensure your presence is exactly as it should be – giving you a few less things to think about.
Legal
We have partnered with the best California based veterinary legal counsel available. Our legal team specializes in the veterinary industry allowing them to advise us confidently and accurately on veterinary matters. All our purchasing agreements and non-compete clauses protect the new Clinical Directors to the greatest extent of the law.
Information Technology
We have partnered with one of the newest and most advanced veterinary practice management systems available (Vetspace, Inc). This system allows effortless communication between sites, an automated inventory management system (first of its kind in the US), and advanced statistical reporting. Our strong relationship with Vetspace allows us to customize our system to meet our needs on every level.
Operations
Managing a clinical team is not a one person job. Despite being responsible for the Clinical Team you will still need support and mentorship in this area until you learn the skills needed to manage successfully. Our Operations team is comprised of a Clinical Manager, who oversees all the technical team and supports and mentors the Tech Team leader (RVT). A Client Service Manager, who oversees all the Client Service Representatives (CSR) and supports and mentors the CSR Team leader. The third member of this team is the Managing Director who supports you personally (with the help of your mentor- an established Clinical Director), and the two other operational experts in their challenging roles.
Administration
VetnCare provide general administrative support to help with the smooth running of your hospital and legal compliance of your business so that you can rest assured you are doing everything correctly. Administration can take a huge amount of your time- filing receipts, paying bills, legal reporting, provision of month-end accounting reports, HR documentation- PTO requests, HAS deductions, healthcare/dental insurance enrollment are just some of the items that our administrative team handle on your behalf.
Procurement and Group Purchasing
We have negotiated terms with many drug companies, equipment suppliers, stationery and utility providers; which are designed to provide our hospitals with the best rates and supplier standards possible. However, patient welfare and wellbeing is a priority for us, and if you feel the recommended product or service is not appropriate for a particular case or your hospital, you have the freedom to choose an alternative!
We currently have excellent relationships with MWI, Royal Canin, Antech Laboratories, Ceva, Merck and Golden State Pet Crematorium, amongst others. As we grow, our ability to negotiate better terms with other vendors and suppliers will grow too.
