Brian Hayes,
DVM
Meet Dr. Brian Hayes, a vet with a knack for balancing high-level expertise with down-to-earth charm. He started his career as a kennel tech, then progressed to veterinary assistant, and finally veterinarian. With over 10 years in the field, he’s as well-rounded as they come. But it’s not all about the credentials – as Erica would say, Brian “wears many hats”. He is a music enthusiast, welder, carpenter, sports fan, and garden lover, blending his love for all things outdoors with his passion for pets. It’s his life’s mission to make every pet feel welcomed and valued, a testament to his dedication to serving the community and his patients with heartfelt care.
