What Board-Certified Means for Pet & Owners
Board-certified veterinarians complete years of additional education and clinical residency beyond veterinary school, followed by rigorous examinations within their area of expertise. These veterinarians focus exclusively on their chosen discipline, whether performing complex pet surgeries, developing cancer treatment plans for cats or dogs, or managing advanced pet cardiac and internal medicine cases. Their specialized training and experience allow them to design and oversee individualized animal treatment plans while coordinating with other on-site specialized veterinarians and pets’ primary care veterinarians to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient.
