We are excited to welcome Dr. Paige Cooper to our growing FVC Family! Dr. Cooper was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and knew from a very young age that she wanted to help animals. Dr. Cooper completed her undergraduate studies at Louisiana Tech where she played Division 1 Volleyball. She then moved to Arizona, where she excelled through the rigorous program at Midwestern School of Veterinary Medicine. She has been serving patient's locally since, and is excited to join our team in our mission to see our patients live their happiest, healthiest, and longest lives!

Outside of work, Dr. Cooper enjoys outdoor sports and loves to travel! Dr. Cooper shares her home with her husband and son, as well as their 5 four-legged kiddos (3 dogs, 2 cats!). She is seeing patients at Family VetCare of Mesa and we can't wait for you to meet her!

“…we are dedicated to caring for people and their pets as FAMILY to help them live healthier, happier, and longer lives.” These are not simply pretty words to describe our mission; it is who we are at our core!

Our teams are always busy giving a voice to the voiceless, caring for our patients and clients as Family, and generally influencing our veterinary community with positivity.

This weekend we rallied together to impact our community in a different way. We seized the opportunity to help alleviate hunger by working with Midwest Food Bank to package food that will be delivered to people in our community with the greatest need.
Our family loved having the opportunity to reach out beyond our hospital doors, and we are excited to help our community more in the future. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone!"

Hey FVC Family - our family is growing! Please join us in welcoming the newest member to our work family... Dr. Carolyn Duregger, an Arizona native!
She obtained her Bachelor of Science and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University. While she thought Colorado was a great place to go to school, she was more than happy to come home to Arizona when she graduated! She loves getting to know her patients and clients so that she can provide and foster a collaborative approach to health care. When not working, you can find her hiking, running, doing photography and spending time with her son.

Dr. Duregger is seeing patients at Family VetCare of Mesa, and we're super excited for you to meet her! Welcome Dr. Duregger - you are already ADORED by your patients, clients, and fellow team members!

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of one of our own, Lauren Anderson.

Although Lauren had not been able to work with us since 2018 due to her medical battle, once you are a part of this Family, you are always a part of this Family. 💜🐾 We are all feeling the loss of such an amazing vibrant soul.

Lauren was able to influence so many lives while she worked within these walls. She connected with people so naturally and bonded with every patient as if it were her own. You could always rely on Lauren to see the best in things and work through the toughest patient cases with such amazing compassion.

If you have a special memory with Lauren, we would love for this platform to serve as a place for her close friends and family to see how much good she was able to bring to the world. Please share your memories in the comments.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones during this difficult time.

Meet Lenore!

Lenore was seen at our Chandler location by Dr. Nemeth for her first ever wellness exam. Dr. Nemeth and Lenore's family set the ground work for the best habitat and diet a bearded dragon could ask for.

We are looking forward to seeing Lenore as she continues to grow!

King Louis I the French Bulldog who is 1.5 years old is here to tell us about: Safe Fun in the Summertime 😎

Summer means getting outdoors, getting on the road, and getting your barbeque on—but it can also be hazardous for your pet. Here are some tips to make sure you and your furry friend have the best summer ever! 🌞

🥵 Heat kills! Never leave your pet in a car, even for a quick trip! On a sunny 70o day, your car can heat up to over 100o in minutes. Hot asphalt will scorch your pet’s paws—so if it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your pooch.

💦 Don’t let your dog drink seawater, lake water or river water. Water from the ocean can bring on vomiting and dehydration, while lake and river water are often full of bacteria that can cause illness. If there’s a bloom of blue-green algae, your pet could be at risk of liver failure and nervous system damage if they ingest it.

🐍 Copperheads/Rattlesnakes are the most common venomous snake in our region and they’re found statewide. Keep your pet leashed, on trails, out of marshy areas, and no sniffing where you can’t see to avoid these very dangerous bites.

🪲 Even if your pet is on a tick preventative, it’s a good idea to check for these little dudes after being outdoors. They can jump from pets to people and carry nasty illnesses, including Lyme disease.

🥩🌽🦴 Cookouts are tasty, but cooked meat bones often splinter and become hazardous if swallowed. Nix the corn cobs, too—they can cause intestinal blockage.

🚘🛩 If you’re taking your pet on the road or in the air, health and/or travel certificates from an accredited veterinarian may be required. Our veterinarians can issue those and ensure your pet is healthy enough to travel.

🏠If you’re off on a vacay without the fur kids, make your boarding reservations now as spots fill fast during the summer months. You’ll also want to make sure your pet is current on all required vaccinations for boarding. Rabies and DAPP within 1 year and Bordetella within 6 months of boarding stay. 💉
