COVID accelerates the Vetama Model

During COVID, veterinary practices became overwhelmed, veterinary burnout skyrocketed, and pet owners became upset with the veterinary industry. However, Dr. Dorian's mobile practice shined. People loved the convenience, professionalism, and ease of mobile veterinary medicine.

The Apprentices Meet

In 2020, Dr. Gutman contacted Dr. Dorian after relocating to San Luis Obispo. Dr. Gutman inquired about working with his mentor once again, this time as a veterinarian. Dr. Dorian - who's mobile practice was booming - was excited about working with Dr. Gutman again. After Dr. Gutman joined the practice, Jacob shadowed Dr. Gutman and Dr. Dorian.
