Viva Vet Values:

Locally Owned
Opening a running a veterinary practice, requires big and small decisions. We made and make every one of those with a local mindset centered on what’s the absolute best for pet-parents and their pets here, on-the-ground, everyday in our great, animal enthused seaside city.

Frugality/Practicality
For example, in a case that needs tests, experience can indicate which one stand the best chance of results. Very often there’s no harm in starting with just that test. If it comes back positive, you’ve avoided any that were unneeded. Sometimes too, there’s no harm trying to diagnose with a potential solution. If it works, you’ve already begun the cure.

Medical Excellence
Keeping animals happy and healthy is sometimes easy, and sometimes not. Both scenarios depend on excellent veterinary medicine. Viva Vet’s founder and head-vet has been awarded by the AVC for “outstanding clinical competence and extraordinary compassion.”

Clarity
For your pet’s health, you’re the ultimate advocate. That’s why we consider clarity a deliverable. At Viva Vet, you get all your questions thoroughly answered, and you always hear all your options. You get total command over your pet’s care.

Empowered Staff
Great pet-care happens in the hands of great pet-care staff. So they need to be healthy too. We capitalize on our independence to press the envelope on staff empowerment, inspiration and appreciation. The people looking after your pet feel good here.

Space & Pace
Pet’s have a lot of sensibilities. They size up a vibe, and it means a lot to them. So we set our schedule at a friendly-neighborhood pace. Everyone gets time for a calm, caring vibe. And we also have a friendly-neighborhood space – tons of natural light, and great flow. Pets feel good here.
