What is your business philosophy/mission statement?
We are committed to consistently exceeding expectations for aging and end-of-life healthcare for pets and to providing peace of mind for pet parents. Our job is to make all our pet patients feel as if they are at home. Our 24/7 care includes treating our guests as if they are our own because we love pets too. We see pets NOT as property, but as loved ones who deserve to be treated with dignity at all stages of their life. Our non-replicable technology is consistent Tender Loving Care. We attend individually to each guest. Our employees are caring, compassionate, warm partners who love what they do for a living.
Why should your business be included in the minority & women business spotlight?
Our business is unique and provides a service that is needed in every community in the United States. It is owned by a female and a minority and is well financed and primed for growth.
What do you like about doing business in Kansas?
The emphasis that is placed on networking among business owners, the involvement of local chambers of commerce as well as local politicians, all of whom want to see local small businesses succeed. We all realize that business success means growth and prosperity for all residents in the state of Kansas.
What inspired you to start your business?
I worked with several folks who had older or sick pets and rearranged their work schedules to care for the pets. Others stayed home rather than take vacations, or go to weddings and other social functions so that they could stay home and care for their pets. They found it difficult to ask friends and relatives to do the things necessary to ensure the well being of these animals. When they did entrust the pets to family, they would often come home to a traumatized pet. Additionally, if they left them at a vet, the clinic closed overnight, leaving the pet all alone. I realized that this was an underserved market and developed a plan to tackle it with TLC.
