What Makes a Veterinary
Specialist a “Specialist”?
A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who has achieved board certification in their respective field, earning the title of “Diplomate.” The process of becoming board-certified is rigorous and requires the candidate to be accepted to an internship and residency program just like human doctors. This process typically adds four more years of post-graduate specialized training and requires further examinations. Only when all these credentials have been successfully completed and approved by the governing veterinary specialty college or board, can a person be considered a specialist in their field of study.
Veterinary Specialists fill a similar need to that of human medical specialists. These experts work in conjunction with and in support of your pet’s primary veterinarian. They offer advanced diagnostics, treatments, and surgical techniques for various diseases and traumas.
Pet Loss
and Grief
The sadness we feel when losing a beloved pet is a very real emotion, and everyone deals with the loss in his or her own way. For some people, the grieving process occurs quickly. For others, adjusting to the loss is much more difficult, and they need additional help to overcome their grief.
Although surveys show that most people consider their pets members of the family, pet owners often feel isolated and misunderstood when coping with the death of a cherished animal companion. Recognizing the need to provide bereaved pet owners with critical support is essential and we encourage you to reach out for assistance.
