Here is a copy of an email you should all be getting from Better Vet, the new owners on how to connect with them:

Dear Friend,

I hope this letter finds you and your furry families well!

As you might already know, I have decided to retire! I want you all to know that it has been such a pleasure getting to serve you and your pets these past years. I will miss you all terribly, but I'm happy to say that you're in good hands with my BetterVet colleagues.

BetterVet is a family-owned, mobile veterinary practice! BetterVet shares my belief in bringing the highest quality care to your home and providing cutting-edge equipment to you--in other words, a better veterinary experience for you and your pets!



With BetterVet you will now have added benefits and resources, including an easy-to-use mobile app and website for all scheduling so that you can book an appointment with just a few taps. Search BetterVet in your phone's app store to download the app!



Here is what you can expect from now on:

Continued Compassionate Care

Uninterrupted service

We are committed to keeping all upcoming appointments as scheduled. There will be no delay in service.

New staff, same connection

My colleague Dr. Reitinger will continue to help you and your pets. I know BetterVet found the right fit for the Vancouver family, Dr. Reitinger is an incredibly kind and warm individual who cares deeply about veterinary care. Most importantly, she shares the same passion for providing quality veterinary care in-home. Dr. Reitinger will take over my service area, and she should be your primary veterinarian moving forward.

What’s Even Better

Schedule appointments through BetterVet's app and website

Instead of us calling to schedule your appointments, book home visits conveniently through the app or website.

BetterVet offers video consultations

For anything that doesn’t require a home visit, you can schedule a video consultation. As a special offer for all my former customers, if your first appointment is a video consultation, I’ll be totally free.

Thank you for your continued support all these years trusting me with your furry family. I have full confidence that Dr. Reitinger will provide the same compassionate care you and your pet need. You are in good hands!

Again, from the bottom of my heart, a sincere thank you for sharing your love of your pet with me! I will never forget you.

Warmly,

Dr. Melissa Stephenson, DVM

I have no idea what the new owners' plans are, but here is some inspiration for the next Halloween or pet costume contest you might be inspired to enter.

One last Caturday (Caturdog) before we go. Please post any fun pictures you'd like to share. Here is Dorian who is having a much longer happier life thanks to Melissa's care.

You only have a couple more days of posts from me. The new vet's officially own the clinic next Monday and we are taking the week to iron out behind the scenes IT and social media things. In the meantime enjoy some more of my sense of humor :D

**PUPDATE on Transition** we are in the process of handing off the clinic from Melissa to the new owners with Better Vet. They will be implementing a scheduling app so you can easily schedule online if you want to, and it's my understanding, they will still have someone you can call if you prefer over the phone scheduling.

Andrea will be staying on as one of the technicians with the new vets and I will be retiring with Melissa and going on to be her scheduler with her new venture.

There should be some more detailed email announcements coming out shortly, so please watch your email.

🥰 Famous actor Tom Hardy brought his adopted dog Woody to the presentation of one of his movies to encourage animal adoption.
Tom knows that dogs are like children 🐶, he knows that buying pets is immoral because it promotes animal cruelty through forced breeding and inbreeding.
He is often seen going to rescues to provide assistance, visiting rescued dogs and talking about breeding and abandonment issues in various media.
Tom is a great guy with a hot heart 💞 Be like Tom.

Because of last night's post I have rec'd a large number of scheduling requests. Melissa is meeting with the new owner this weekend and I will have a clear idea of scheduling availability by Monday. If you don't hear from me today, I promise I will reach out with scheduling options on Monday. Thank you for your patience. We so appreciate you all!
