thanks for the feedback guys! and hello fellow mobile vet! Yes I tend to do the standard 50% markup on pharma but on this one it’s more like cost plus fees as the lab fee I quoted has gone up by 30% since I last used them!

what sort of markup is standard practice for external lab stuff. just done a top allergy panel and it’s 350 plus vat cost
hi Ian. whilst it has been a while since I’ve been in practice, it seems from chatting to our Claims Manager @ Vetsure that the approach used by vets has not changed much on these sort of tests.

Hi guys, registering a new mobile practice. Im getting business insurance today, my official company name is Ian McKelvie BVMS MRCVS LTD, my trading name for the business is mckelvie mobile vets. Which should I put down for insurance purposes? Ian
I would write Ian McKelvie BVMS MRCVS LTD t/a mckelvie mobile vets. legal name is most important but doesn’t hurt to have both.

Hi Gemma, as someone who is married o a Canadian vet nurse I can confirm that in North America the nurse goes to the waiiting room, calls the patient, weighs them, takes a brief history , gets the vaccines etc if needed and then the vet goes in, does an exam and gives the treatment. It speeds things up considerably and vastly increases turnover,…[Read more]
