With the launch of the nation’s first walk-in veterinary franchise, easyvet aims to offer “veterinary medicine built to meet the needs of owners and veterinarians, lowering the costs of quality care for pets while allowing more vets the freedom to start their own practice,” the company stated. Easyvet stated that its clinics will help establish balance between accessible pet care with an improved work-life balance for the veterinarian franchise owners. “This model allows veterinarians the ability to manage their clinic with predictable hours,” the company stated. “Without having to be on-call for emergencies or surgical procedures, they can offer dependable hours for clients that best fit the community they serve.” The clinics offer comprehensive exams, core vaccines, parasite screening and prevention, microchipping, chronic pain management, geriatric care, allergy screening, behavioral and lifestyle counseling, and more. The franchise will be opening two new clinics; one in Georgia and a second in Arizona. Christian Cumberbatch, DVM, has opened a franchise in Alpharetta, Ga.; two more locations are planned. “Having worked as an associate and emergency veterinarian, and having previously owned multiple clinics, I was looking for a change in my career that allowed me to still manage and run my own practice but without all of the headaches and stress that go along with it,” said Dr. Cumberbatch, VP of Medical Leadership. “The easyvet model allows me to spend more time with my family while enjoying practicing quality medicine. Their support team is top notch and has been very responsive while not imposing any restrictive protocols.” A clinic in Arizona's San Tan Valley to serve pet owners in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area will open soon, as well.
