For those of you who are not aware, Dr. Stanley Rubin has retired.

Over the past two years, Dr. Rubin has been an integral part of VCA Valley Animal Hospital and Emergency Center as our Medical Director. His dedication, compassion and expertise have made a lasting impact on our clients, their beloved pets and our entire team.

Dr. Rubin’s retirement marks the culmination of a remarkable 45-year career in veterinary medicine. His contributions have extended far beyond the exam room: from teaching at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, and the University of Illinois, to earning Diplomate status with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, to serving as one of VCA’s respected Regional Medical Directors. He even co-authored a veterinary textbook still widely used by students and professionals today. What a career indeed!

We are immensely grateful to Dr. Rubin for all he’s brought to our hospital and to the veterinary community. Please join us in wishing him all the best in this exciting next chapter.

Congratulations, Dr. Rubin, your dedication to veterinary medicine will continue to inspire us.

Most of you may already know, but for those who haven't heard: Dr. Schug has relocated to Nashville, TN to join the team at VCA PetMed.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion he has shown our patients and clients over the past three years, and to say he will be greatly missed would be an understatement.

Rest assured, your pets will still be in excellent hands with one of our other Primary Care Veterinarians: Drs. Coverdill, Thompson, Zlatow, or O'Dell.

Please join us in wishing Dr. Schug all the best in this exciting new opportunity, and safe travels as he begins his next chapter!

Join us in welcoming our newest doctor: Tyra Tse!

Dr. Tse grew up in Los Angeles and earned her veterinary degree from Western University College of Veterinary Medicine in Pomona, California.

Dr. Tse has a special interest in exotic companion animals and enjoys volunteering at animal shelters in her free time. When she's not caring for animals, she loves relaxing with her cat, Timmy.

Dr. Tse is excited to be in Tucson and looks forward to meeting you and your pets!
