Spring 2009

Many of you received this letter in the mail, but just to update you on some current activities at Bramer Animal Hospital:

Thank You!

We appreciate your use of Bramer Animal Hospital Ltd. for your pet's medical care.

There are many new things happening here at the hospital and as a client we wanted you to be aware of them.

We are members of Pet Health Network. This is a cutting edge educational program you can access from our website (www.brameranimalhospital.com) or from terminals within our hospital. Pet health topics and practices are covered in an easy to understand way. With all of the information available on-line, we feel it is important to have access to legitimate and current veterinary medical information. Please give it a try and give us feedback.
We have totally updated our in-hospital laboratory equipment. This will allow us to perform testing on your pet more quickly and accurately.
We have upgraded our practice management software. Learning to utilize its many available features will be an ongoing process for our staff, but ultimately it will give you access to information and records regarding your pet. It will eventually allow us to electronically move records from one place to another as well as provide enhanced communication. We are asking everyone to provide us with updated contact information including e-mail addresses. We respect your privacy and will only use these for communication between our hospital and you.
We understand how medical costs have increased for all of us (people and pets) over the years.¬Ý We also recognize the competition for best pricing of various medications. In response to this, we have partnered with a company called VetSource to provide you access on-line to many products for home delivery. Preventive medications for heartworm disease (Heartgard Plus) and fleas (Advantage) as well as prescription diets (Hills) are available at competitive prices. Any purchases through this venue (again accessible at www.brameranimalhospital.com) are backed 100% by our hospital.
We are partnering with a company called VetStreet to provide access to your pet's vaccination and medication history. On our website, use the PetPortals icon to get started. This company works with our new software (see above) and data to send both post card and e-mail reminders. They also offer another source of quality veterinary medical information.

Our staff is really excited about these changes. Our goal is to have a positive and beneficial experience for each client and patient every time you have contact with us. We think these changes will take us further down this path. Again, thank you for your support, and we look forward to growing and strengthening our relationship with you and your pets.
