Who We Are
Fetch was founded in 2016 as an outpatient veterinary oncology center working out of a local emergency hospital in Naples, Florida. In a few short years, we expanded our services to include emergency and specialty medicine provided across multiple states. To this day, Fetch remains a non-corporate organization where everyone, from our team members to our patients, is considered family.

What to Expect
We can provide the foundation and oversight to help you learn emergency medicine, but you ultimately get out of the program what you put in. Those that are driven will jump in and see cases, and take on cases that may be outside of their normal comfort zone. Push yourself to learn and take as much from those around you as possible.
