About Relief Veterinarians
An Essential Part of Pacific Pet Hospital's Team
Pacific Pet Hospital prides itself on offering uninterrupted, high-caliber care for all our furry patients. There are times when we call upon the specialized skills of relief veterinarians to assist us, especially during peak seasons or when our regular vets take a well-deserved break. But make no mistake – our relief veterinarians aren’t just filling in. They're handpicked based on their impressive veterinary knowledge and stellar communication abilities. Meeting a pet for the first time, these vets bring a fresh perspective, ensuring every medical examination is thorough and detail-oriented. At Pacific Pet Hospital, we ensure that every team member, whether permanent or temporary, embodies our dedication to excellence in pet care and communication.
