Are you and your pet in need of support?
We don’t trust our pets with just anyone, and neither should you. Meet Dr. Matthew Blanchong.
With over 15 years’ veterinary experience in critical and hospice care, Matthew’s reason for creating QOL Veterinary lies in his passion for honoring the unconditional love a pet provides to their human family. He has helped countless pet owners and their pets achieve a level of comfort, peace, and acceptance that is sometimes difficult to find in traditional pet care settings. Because of his background in “specialty” veterinary medicine, Matthew is adept at working with vet clinics as a supplemental service to bring to highest level of care to your pet.
