Our
Story
Cru Vet's Beginning
Cru Vet began early in COVID, where during this challenging time, pet parents were not always allowed in the Vet Hospital. Dr. Hofer and Charette realized the importance of pet parents being present during important times for their pets. From euthanasias to vaccinations/routine care and urgent care needs, Cru Vet found a way to fill a void many pet parents felt during this strenuous time. Cru Vet has found the need continue for in home pet care.
