Dr. Chege is passionate about what he does—caring for your pets as if they were his own. A highly skilled veterinary professional with decades of hands-on experience, he provides thoughtful, thorough care across a wide range of needs, from routine wellness to more complex medical cases.

​

Dr. Chege has been practicing veterinary medicine in California since 2008. 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.

​

Dr. Chege earned his Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Medicine in 1996 from the University of Nairobi, Kenya — Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Upper Kabete Campus). He later completed the AVMA Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) program and became licensed by the California Veterinary Medical Board in 2008. Before becoming licensed, he worked for several years as a registered veterinary technician in fast-paced emergency hospitals throughout the San Francisco Bay Area—an experience that shaped his calm, methodical approach to critical care.

​

Emergency and urgent care medicine remain central to Dr. Chege’s clinical background. Over the years, he has worked as a veterinarian in a variety of hospital settings 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 breadth of experience helps him stay decisive, detail-oriented, and steady—especially when pets need timely, critical care.

His clinical interests include general practice, emergency/urgent care medicine, surgery, and dermatology. Above all, Dr. Chege believes great veterinary care is built on trust and communication, and he strives to form long-lasting partnerships with clients—so pets can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
