Tracey Haslitt, DVM

Emergency

As a life long animal lover and avid horseback rider, Dr. Haslitt worked for five years at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant before entering veterinary school. The emergency specialists she worked with while at veterinary school motivated her to eventually enter the emergency field herself. Each day, she is awed by her clients and the devotion they have for their pets.

Critical Care
“I demand of myself a great attention to detail, which is essential for good patient care. It is essential that you notice even slight changes in a patient’s condition and adjust treatments accordingly. Each patient is an individual and must be treated as such.”

The Science of Communication
“It’s important to communicate with the pet owners to explain the medical conditions that are occurring with their pets. They must understand the treatment options available and what is currently being done to come to a decision about the correct way to proceed with treatment. It’s also best to do this in person, face to face, so we can discuss the condition and encourage a better understanding.”

Career Growth
“I feel privileged to have a career that is constantly growing and evolving. This allows me to continue to grow personally and professionally.”
