In August of 1973 Scott Emory Pickett was born in Greensboro, NC to two loving parents, Jim and Janice Pickett. Scott moved with his parents and his new brother, Stewart, to Macon, GA three years later. In the hot, humid, heat of Middle Georgia, Scott spent his awkward adolescent years, grew to young adulthood, spent many years swimming competitively, and attended the local catholic high school, Mount de Sales Academy, from which he graduated in 1991. Scott subsequently journeyed to Gambier, Ohio and Kenyon College where he happily lived and studied for the next four years. In May of 1995 he graduated from Kenyon with a bachelor of Arts in Biology. The bayous of Louisiana were Scott's next stop where he began attending Louisiana State University: School of Veterinary Medicine in Baton Rouge during the fall of 1995. During his stay he gained a life long friend in the form of Sage, a Golden Retriever, explored New Orleans, and decided that Blues and Jazz weren't half bad. Four grueling years later and a newly acquired taste for all things spicy Scott graduated with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. After practicing for a year in Macon, Dr. Pickett in the never-ending search for a better bike trail developed a desire for the mountains and thus moved to Western North Carolina in the summer of 2000. In between mountain biking, snow skiing, and fly fishing he practiced small animal medicine and surgery at Jackson County Veterinary Associates and Cope Creek Animal Hospital in Sylva. Dr. Pickett also provided relief veterinary services to the veterinary community in the surrounding counties. In the summer of 2004, Dr. Pickett and his brother, Stewart, realized the need for a small animal mobile veterinary practice in the Asheville and Hendersonville area and began taking the necessary steps to make their dream a reality. During the summer of 2005 Dr. Pickett and Stewart were happy to announce the opening of Best Friends Mobile Veterinary Clinic
