🎉Join us today in celebrating...🎉
Nepean Mobile Vet turns 10!! 🎂
A brief trip down memory lane of how it all began...
On April 1st 2015, the business name Nepean Mobile Vet became official.
Then on April 15th 2015, Dr Derek worked his first day as Vet and owner of the business.
Nepean Mobile Vet was born out of the tiresome and frustrating corporate mentality that Dr Derek had previously worked for, he was tired of not getting the time for things he wanted or needed to do. So he decided he wanted something different and wanted to make a difference, and went out on a scary new venture all on his own.
For the first 12 months he started slow as a 1 man show, taking any call that came through. He worked every day he could except for Christmas Day and Bxing Day. Alot of these initial calls were basic vaccinations, simple medical conditions like ear infections, and unfortunately alot of euthanasias 😪
Early on, a job was accepted as a locum down in Goulburn under the business name to help kick-start the business.
His daughter was born 11 months later and he found himself navigating life as a new business owner and a new Dad.
The more enquiries that were made for specific conditions, the more equipment that was purchased enabling more services to be provided.
In late 2019, Nepean Mobile Vet hired it's first employee! 🎊 what a milestone achievement. The business has since then continued to grow, providing our services to as far north as Kurrajong/ Colo Heights, or as far south as Bargo/ Tahmoor, with a team of 2 Vets and 2 Nurses working across 6 days per week.
Throughout the years, Dr Derek has maintained his teaching role to uni Vet students, still teaching the livestock obstetrics unit each year, imparting his knowledge and wisdom on future Vets to come, a job he still really enjoys.
To help us celebrate such a milestone, we'd love to hear your favourite memories or stories about an experience you've have with any of our staff over the years, and with a big milestone comes BIG news... soon we'll share with you all our BIG exciting news 🤫
