Our Mission
At Ruby Veterinary, our mission is to transform the veterinary care experience for both pets and their owners.
We provide personalized and compassionate urgent care to pets while prioritizing the well-being of our staff.
We strive to create a transparent and technology-enabled veterinary care experience that exceeds the expectations of our clients.
We are committed to creating a supportive and sustainable work environment that values the professional growth, work-life balance, and well-being of our veterinary team.
Ruby is the foundation of the incredible work we're doing at our hospital and for our community. She was a sweet and vivacious mini bernedoodle whose love for life and unwavering spirit serves as our inspiration.
Ruby was born August 10, 2020 and was a bundle of energy and joy from the start. At the time, our founder Jason and his wife Elizabeth were living in New York City, and Ruby quickly came to embrace the energy and excitement of the city. She loved walking along the Hudson River, playing in the city's parks, and meeting her doggy and human friends.
She tragically passed away at the young age of 18 months on February 5, 2022 following a months-long medical journey involving a spay complication. While she was only with us for a short time, her life inspired us to build a more modern and sustainable future for pets, pet parents, and dedicated veterinary professionals everywhere.
We dedicate everything we’re building here to Ruby and all the pets we hold dear in our hearts.
