June Newsletter

Vet Nurse Direct

News Letter June 2014

                                                 

Welcome to our first newsletter. We thought this would be a good time to inform our clients where we are up to and what we are planning.

First of all, where did it all start? Well that one is easy; we both decided that as we enjoy working together and being with animal’s it made sense to start a business where we could pool both our skills. I have the veterinary skills and Paul has an excellent background in business and economics and within the agricultural sector. Bingo!! We decided to devise a business where animal welfare was the upmost importance and also, to provide a range of services that would suit both pet owners and pet care professionals.

Vet Nurse Direct then became a reality when we both realised that this was the way forward for both of us. We have not been ‘out there’ long, but we certainly have been getting some press attention.  We are going to be:

·         Featured in a veterinary nurse journal

·         Featured in Lancashire Life

And we have been asked to write a regular column for another veterinary journal.  Phew!, not sure where this is all going to end, next move TV, radio?. 

We decided to create a website all I can say is Bill Gates you have nothing to worry about! Our website is special to us as we want people to go on and discover that we are passionate about animals and educating people, we also have our own little online shop.

We then set up a face book and twitter page and a blog – WOW are you impressed.  So tell everyone its official we are on face book and twitter

Recently we were awarded approval from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate to supply veterinary medicines; this was a major achievement for us, as we have got the same approval as all the big names out there. Think it must have been the relentless cups of coffee and biscuits we offered Ewan from the veterinary medicines directorate, when he came to approve us.

Our next mission with the VMD is to gain internet accreditation from them; this means that they have given our website the seal of approval to ensure we are providing the correct advice and guidance should individuals wish to purchase veterinary medicines.

So where are we up to now…..

We have updated our site, put products on our shop, and purchased new scanning products to microchip your pets. 

We are in the process of designing pet first aid kits, essential for our four legged friends

Designing new materials for our new course – Pet Health and Welfare

Now offering a pet sitting service – ideal for those who are at work

Next month we will give you further updates and news, in the meantime don’t forget if you require any of our services please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss your requirements.
