New Business Spotlight: Vet Care Express

Animal Ambulance - Vet Care Express

The late 2000’s brought a world of change to our economy.  Employees with 20+ years of tenure suddenly found themselves looking for work.  Many of these people opted not to continue in their current career track but to seek a new path.  Now you might find a hot dog stand that is being run by a former financial guru or a bike shop started by a woman who used to be a software developer.

Cheryl Brady was a successful corporate sales person. Her career outlook seemed somewhat secure but she felt unfulfilled.  While considering her next steps – a phone call came in from a panicked friend.  Her friend had hit a dog with a car.  Cheryl raced to help her friend and the dog – but it was too late.  This was Cheryl’s epiphany – and her new career track.  Why not provide emergency transport for pets like we do for people? Cheryl originally had this idea in school – and explored it though a research paper as a Vet Tech and while as a  Pre-Vet student in college.  Clearly, now was the time for her vision to become a reality, and in early 2010, Cheryl launched Vet Care Express – an animal ambulance and transport service.

Vet Care Express is the only service in Sarasota that operates 24/7 to assist people and their pets.   If your dog or cat is sick or injured, you may need professional assistance to lift them or transport them to a medical care facility.    Cheryl has the training and assistance to help you in a crisis. Vet Care Express is fully licensed, insured and professionally equipped with oxygen, masks, stretchers, gurneys, backboards, cages and first aid supplies.  Fully certified in pet CPR and first aid through the American Red Cross, Vet Care Express will monitor their patients throughout transport and communicate condition status to the receiving Veterinary facility.  Local veterinary emergency facilities recommend Cheryl and Vet Care Express – you can read what they say here.

Aside from the emergency situation, Vet Care Express can also help transport your pet to routine veterinary appointments, groomers or even for a day of doggie daycare.

Cheryl Brady - Vet Care ExpressWrite this number down, (now) and put it on the refrigerator so that you have it handy in the event of an emergency:  941-592-5131.    Vet Care Express will be there to help.

Rates are modestly priced and begin at $30.00.  You can call Cheryl for a customized quote too.
