Well-Trained Staff

In order to keep all team members aware of the rapid advances in veterinary
medicine, our veterinarians hold regular staff training seminars. Drs. Potter and Steib are
strong advocates of ongoing continuing education, attending several educational
conferences annually and support all staff members in their efforts to do the same.

Our Philosophy

It is our desire to provide both you and your pet with the very best in veterinary care. By having a caring, knowledgeable, and professional staff, utilizing the latest technological advances, and implementing the foremost medical practices, we hope to provide for the long-term health and happiness of your pet. Keeping your pet healthy and happy is important to us; at Morena Pet Hospital we strive to offer quality care in a compassionate environment.

 

Our Goals

We aspire to go above and beyond what is expected of us in the care of your pets. Two of the ways we try to achieve this are through customer service and client education. After all, we understand that the typical healthy pet may solely come in to see us for their annual health check-up, leaving 364 days out of the year in your care. That is why we concentrate on building upon the pet/pet owner relationship and aim to educate you throughout your pet's various life stages from puppy/kitten to adulthood.
