Meet Our Doctors | Dr. Jessica Forster & Team

what makes us different

Our Approach to Veterinary Care in Bluffton, SC

As a client of Fetch A Vet, you can expect our full attention to your pet’s needs. During your appointment, one of our veterinary technicians will start by asking about your pet’s medical history, current condition, and the reason for the appointment, gathering data for the doctor. One of our doctors will then examine your pet, ask you further questions, and recommend diagnostic tests if needed. Once we run the tests, the doctor will discuss a possible diagnosis and treatment plan, if warranted.

This is a great time to ask questions. Our veterinary team wants to make sure you’re completely comfortable with the information we’re providing.

We aim to visit all of our clients and patients on time, and although we have contingencies for emergencies, there are times where the unexpected creates delays. We will ensure these are minimized as much as possible. We are excited to meet you and your pets!

Meet Dr. Jessica Forster

Chief Medical Officer

Over 18 Years caring for animals.

Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I started working in Veterinary hospitals 18 years ago. That passion led me to get my Animal Science Degree from the University of Connecticut and my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I practiced small animal medicine in Oklahoma and Connecticut before moving to Bluffton with my family in 2019.

Starting Fetch A Vet is my way of extending my passion for animal care and my service to clients by offering house call veterinary wellness care. I enjoy creating genuine bonds with both clients and pets and look forward to many years of growing with the community.
