Financing a New Mobile Veterinary Clinic
It’s been a while since we’ve written about the ins and outs of financing a mobile clinic. A long, long while. At the time of our last blog about financing, we had just emerged from the aftermath of the global financial crisis and rates were starting to inch up. Many of us assumed that rates…

It’s been eight years since we first introduced Dr. Michele Trammell, her husband Bryan Woods, and their mobile veterinary business, Vet to Pets, to the readers of our blog.

We’re not afraid to admit when we made a mistake. A couple months ago, we wrote a blog for our website on NOMAD, Inc., a cat-only spay neuter clinic out of Ohio. At the time, we wrote that NOMAD was the only La Boit-built spay/neuter clinic for cats that was run by a private practitioner…

At La Boit Specialty Vehicles, we talk a lot about the difference between a custom built specialty vehicle and a converted RV, bus, or box truck. But even though we talk about it a lot, it might not be immediately clear to our customers what exactly that means. Our customers aren’t experts in mobile clinic…

They call the City of Alameda “the Island City.” Situated in the San Francisco Bay just between Oakland and San Francisco, the city itself spans across two islands, a small part of the mainland, and some minor islands. Referred to simply as “the island” by locals, the city has just under 80,000 residents. It’s those…
