- Coming to you from the beautiful city of Calgary at Co-Host Dr. Jonathan Leicht's newly up-and-running Bridgeland Veterinary Clinic!
Recorded in fitting fashion from one of the Clinic's examination rooms, Jonathan and Michael chat face-to-face about Jonathan's top 5 tips - and lessons learned - for opening a new veterinary clinic.
They are as follows:
1. Location, location, location!
2. Build a plan for construction (you can't wing something like this)
3. Team - start with the end in the mind
4. Have a solid business plan that includes contingencies
5. Create quality relationships
In addition to his tips, Jonathan shares some things he would do differently in the future based on his experience building out Bridgeland.
Congratulations to Dr. Leicht and the entire team at Bridgeland on the opening of the new clinic!

Good stuff guys
I just subbed and will be watching all of your videos thank you for taking your time and effort making these videos these are absolute Gold.
Thanks for this podcast!
Hi! I've lived for close to 6 months in Calgary-Banff previously in 2017 though I'm from far away Asia in Singapore. My family kept 2 lovable pet dogs for more than 16 years before losing them to old age. My ChiHuaHua died of cardiac arrest at age 14 while the JRT had a home-call euthanasia past age 16 by a veterinarian trained in NZ.
I am a final year student of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine at Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania. I'm a LESOTHO native hoping to one day open a Veterinary Clinic in Lesotho. I am taking notes and hoping to get a mentor in this profession
Thanks for your kind comments! I spent time in Lesotho in 2001 - a gorgeous country! Any help needed, let us know :)
Hiya, great video, and project. I hope I'm not out of order, but I was hoping for some advice. I'm a 51-year-old academic/teacher. I have spent the better part of the last 23 years teaching and I am looking to transition into a way of life that is more meaningful for me at this stage in my life. In short, I am considering going back to uni and studying Veterinary Medicine. I live in Mexico, although I am Australian, and I am a little unsure whether or not to go down this path. Any chance of some insight into "older" newbie vets? In any case, I love the channel and appreciate any insight you might offer me.

Do you have to have any license to open one? Or you can just hire someone with a license?
Don't forget #6 - bend every customer you can over for your pet. Charge them high rates and hold them captive unless they bring their pet in for a $200 check up and $150 worth of pills.
Its sad when your bill costs more than your dog.
#7 - bring cream before you go in because your gonna need it. You and your pet.
Not a veterinarian, but they graduate with 200k dollars of debt on average. Their suicidal rates are one of the highest. It’s a stressful job.
Pet ownership is expensive. If you can’t afford, I am sorry.
If you can't afford your pet, don't keep them, let them roam free
