We have news to share...after over 17 years at the helm, Philippa and I have sold Paws Galore Veterinary Centre.
We will however continue to work as full-time veterinarians at Paws Galore, as we love working for our clientele in a clinic that means so much to us. All our support staff whom we are proud to
have fostered a fantastic culture with are also being retained, so
there are no changes to the team on Beach Road.
The clinic has been sold to a small group of buyers that form a
non-corporate entity.
It has been the greatest privilege servicing so many pet owners in the community and helping your furry family members, and we are delighted to be in a position to continue doing so in this next stage of our veterinary careers. Practice ownership has borne us many fruits regarding such things as lifestyle, freedom and flexibility etc. It has also taught us many important life lessons that would have been extremely difficult to learn without the experience.
However, running a veterinary business can be very stressful, and is a huge challenge when compounding the pressures one faces working as a full-time veterinarian. Philippa and I have always been clinicians at heart, not entrepreneurs. It is time for us to step down and focus on what we were trained and love to do.
The welfare of the patient has always been our first and foremost
priority and we look forward to being able to focus on this without
the distraction of running the clinic, which will now be done by a
more capable team.
Thank you for reading and thank you for the privilege of treating your beloved pets!
Kindest regards,
Stewart Mason
