Off to my first British Veterinary Dental Association Congress today - looking forward to meeting lots of like-minded vets, and learning the latest dental science that we can then bring to our dental theatres at Luna The Dental Vets.

🙌Luna Reading - Practice 2 - Is officially OPEN🎉 🦷70% of adult cats and 90% of adult dogs have active dental disease. Through affordable fixed pricing, the best kit, tech enablement and skilled dental focussed clinicians, we're on a mission to change that stat. Last week we soft launched and met so many wonderful owners delighted by our focus, passion and mission. If you fancy a look around our clinic and a nerd out at the awesome kit with our amazing team, we're throwing the doors open Saturday 14th February for a community open day 11am to 2pm. Most importantly, a shout out and a thank you to our founding clinical teams at Bristol and Reading. The most amazing vets and nurses who are truly committed to our mission. Luna is nothing without them. #nationalpetdentalmonth #dentalonlyvets #wokingham #reading

To protect pets, support their people, and help them live longer, healthier, happier lives. And we're proud to support them to continue to offer pet owners a true ecosystem of preventative support.👏 #Shimples #ToothToTailInsurance #Prevention #DentalVets #VirtualVet

On route to LVS – and rather than the obligatory, cringey selfie on a train, I thought a gratuitous cat snap would be better, and I think Jasper’s face does a pretty good job of expressing my feelings right now. No, not ‘I’m about to bite someone’, but a mix of excitement and anticipation about the next couple of days. This afternoon Louise Cooke and I are off to the Anivators innovation event to learn more about the impact of AI in pet healthcare with UNLEASHED by Purina and lots of exciting pet care start-ups. And then tomorrow we’ll be spending the day with our friends at Lupa and generally networking around LVS - so if you’re at the show and want to find out more about Luna The Dental Vets, especially our opportunities for vets and nurses at our clinics, please come and chat to us.

Luna Dental #357 - Pinky the cat. This was a classic case demonstrating the value of dental X-rays, where the true extent of the dental pathology was only visible below the gum line - as shown here, her X-rays showed clear evidence of type 3 FORLs (feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions) where the tooth roots start to be reabsorbed into the jaw. Without this clear evidence of serious disease affecting the teeth, and likely causing significant pain, it would have been impossible to properly manage this case and make sure all of her affected teeth were carefully and completely extracted. Our amazing clinical team have done over 400 dentals in the 5 months since Luna the Dental Vets in Bristol opened in June - that's 400 pets saved from the misery of dental pain (and 400 owners saved a significant mount of money), which is something we're immensely proud of. With a new Luna site coming soon, we're going to be helping many more pets like Pinky over the next few years. So, if you're a vet or nurse you'd like to join us on our mission to save the nation's pets from bad teeth, we'd love to hear from you.

In my experience, most business plans are at best a very approximate guesstimate of the future trajectory of a new venture, and in most cases are wildly optimistic and crumble at first contact with the harsh reality of real world economics. That's not to say they're worthless or disingenuous, as you have to have a plan, and better to be enthused with an optimistic one when you need the energy and excitement to get a new business off the ground, but they are rarely an accurate guide to the future performance of the business. But that's not always the case. As all those cases where businesses fail to live up to the hype presented in a plan, there are those rare instances where a new business absolutely smashes its business plan and leaves those forecasts in the dust as it blasts off into business space - and I am so excited to say that that's exactly what's happening with Luna The Dental Vets. Since Louise Cooke and I opened the doors to Luna Bristol in June this year, we've been fully booked almost from the first day, with our offering of expert first-opinion dental care for dogs and cats at affordable prices clearly proving like a winning formula. We've had people travelling for 2 hours or more to get to us, because we're so much more affordable than their local vets, and we're now fully booked until mid-November, and smashing our financial forecasts. So, with the Luna rocketship having left the launchpad, it's time for a new business plan for the next stage of the journey - and hopefully another plan to be left behind as we accelerate our growth towards our goal of making amazing dental care accessible and affordable for pets across the nation over the next few years. If you'd like to join us on this mission, and help us shred more well-intentioned business forecasts, we're now raising our second round of (EIS) investment to support the rollout of Luna Clinics 2,3 and 4. Comment or message and I'll share our latest deck, but be prepared for it to be obsolete (in a good way) very soon the way things are going.

Excuse the gratuitous cute cat pic (my boy Jasper struggling through another stressful day) - but hopefully it caught your attention, especially if you're a small animal vet with an interest in dentistry and fancy some locum shifts at Luna The Dental Vets, the UK's first and foremost dental-only first opinion practice in Bristol. Due to demand for our high-quality affordable dental care outstripping supply, we're looking for locum cover in September and October at our clinic in Redland, Bristol. 8-4, no OOH, amazing dental RVNs, all the gear you need, and decent pay - what more could you ask for? Message me or email us team@luna.pet if you're interested, and please share with your network. Thanks!

What's the most consultations a vet's ever done in a day? I guess in some charity clinics, 40, 50 or even 60 might be done in a day. But I'm not sure there are many vets out there who have got through 98 in a single day - but that's how many Luna Dental Health Assessments I got through (with lots of help from Louise Cooke and Luna The Dental Vets Head Nurse Jasmine Cowan) at the Napo Pet Insurance Four Legged Fete yesterday. And that's after 87 the day before, making nearly 200 dogs from Battersea and beyond who now know what state their dogs' teeth are in and how best to keep them healthy and sparkly in the future - which is really the essence of Luna's mission. So, many thanks to Jean-Philippe DOUMENG and Margot Prince at Napo for inviting us along and giving us the opportunity to set some kind of new world record for dental consultations in a day - it was hard work, but great fun, and looking forward to the next event and breaking the 100 in a day barrier!
