A new 24-hour animal hospital has opened its doors on Lakeville Highway in Petaluma, giving pet owners in the area and northern Marin County somewhere close to home to turn to when a dog or cat needs emergency care in the middle of the night. TruVet Specialty & Emergency Hospital, a 6,300-square-foot facility at Lakeville Highway and Casa Grande Road, is staffed around the clock, seven days a week, and receives walk-in patients between 8 AM and 8 PM.
The hospital was co-founded by Dr. Freya Kruger and Dr. Sam Tucker, both board-certified internal medicine specialists, according to The Press Democrat. Kruger earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from UC Davis in 2006 and completed a residency in small animal internal medicine there in 2010, while Tucker earned his VMD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and finished his internal medicine residency at Tufts University in 2013, according to TruVet Specialty and Emergency Hospital. Before opening TruVet, Kruger worked at PetCare Veterinary Hospital in Santa Rosa for a decade.
