Dr. Marcus Dela Cruz, DVM

Being a pet parent is one of life's greatest joys, but it's also a huge responsibility. Every pet parent wants what is best for their fur baby. The Friendly Vet Blog is here to help you make informed choices about your pet's health so they can live healthier and happier.

 I'm Dr. Marcus Dela Cruz, also known as The Friendly Vet. I'm a small animal veterinarian based in California. I graduated from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2018. I'm passionate about providing the best medical care for my dog and cat patients and serving as a trusted resource for pet owners.

After a few years of family, friends, and friends of friends reaching out to me for advice about their pets, I realized that there is a huge need for trusted and reliable pet information. That is why I started this site. I am here to answer your questions and provide helpful and trusted information so you can make informed decisions about your pet's health. 

Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies!
