Meet Our Doctor

Dr. John Gitau Chege, BVM
Veterinarian/Practice Owner
Dr. Chege loves what he does and treats every pet like family. He lives in the Clovis area with his wife, Mercy, and their son Alex, along with their cats Grayson and Dora, their dogs Momo and Bailey, and their tortoise, Kobe. With many years of hands-on experience, he’s known for being kind, calm, and thorough, whether your pet is here for a routine checkup or needs more advanced medical care.
He has been practicing veterinary medicine in California since 2008, after earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Nairobi, Kenya, School of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. He later completed the AVMA Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) program and became licensed by the California Veterinary Medical Board in 2008.
​
Emergency and urgent care are a big part of Dr. Chege’s background. Over the years, he has worked as a Veterinarian at hospitals in the Bay Area and Central Valley, including PETS Referral Center (Berkeley), Beacon Veterinary Specialists (Fremont), the San Francisco SPCA (San Francisco—Fillmore & Mission Street locations), Berkeley Dog & Cat Hospital (Berkeley), IronHorse VetCare (Dublin), and 24/7 PetVets right here in Fresno, to name a few. That experience helps him stay steady and focused, especially when pets need care quickly.
​
His clinical interests include general practice, emergency/urgent care medicine, surgery, and dermatology. Most importantly, Dr. Chege values trust and clear communication, and he is invested in building long-term relationships with families, so pets can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
