Dr. Moser hails from Konstanz, Germany, but immigrated with her parents at the young age of 4 years old. She has since lived in Taiwan, California, Florida, Puerto Rico, Nebraska, and Hawaii. She attended the University of Hawaii Manoa and earned a BS in Zoology with honors and a BA in German Literature. She went on to the University of California Davis Veterinary School, where she obtained her degree in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Moser then made the cross-country trek to join All Creatures Animal Hospital because of the talented doctors she gets to work with, as well as the positive and hardworking attitude of the staff, and the high quality of care and services we are able to provide to our wonderful clients and their 4-legged family members. Outside of her time in the hospital, Dr. Moser’s hobbies include drawing, reading, trivia and game nights, as well as getting out on the water to paddle board. Her sister is a human ER doctor in New York while her parents are currently enjoying life with dogs, cats, and goats in Texas.

Dr. Moser’s professional short term goals include additional training in non-invasive diagnostics, such as ultrasonography and endoscopy, as well as staying up to date on the latest research and medical advances related to her day-to-day cases.

Why did you choose to become a veterinarian?
I have always wanted to become a veterinarian. My grandfather practiced veterinary medicine for over 50 years, so at an early age I was exposed to the joys and fulfillment this career provides. My favorite part of practicing veterinary medicine is being challenged to seek out the right answers and provide support to clients through both the good and hard times with their pets.

What is your goal walking into every patient visit?
I want my clients and their pets to feel calm, comfortable, and to know that I will always do my best to be an advocate for them.

Do you have a mantra or philosophy that you live by?
I try to always treat people the way I would want to be treated. I believe this translates well into veterinary medicine. I aspire to recommend the same treatment plan that I would want for my own pets.

Who makes up your family (pets and/or people)?
Chris the Husband, Jeffrey the Pomeranian, Pebbles the Chihuahua, and Mary Frances the Treeing Walker Hound

What do your pets mean to you?
My pets are everything. They keep me warm when the house is too cold, they cheer me up when I am tired, they make me laugh when I am too serious, and they show me unconditional love. They have inspired me to create more animal accents for my patients.

Please tell us anything else about yourself:
I am originally from the beautiful state of Louisiana, so my craving for warm weather, delicious food, and friendly people runs deep. I truly believe that every meal tastes better with the addition of cheesy grits. I love watching football even when it frustrates me. When not working, watching sports, or eating brunch, I enjoy being out in the great outdoors. Whether it is hiking, beaching, or kayaking, my happiest moments are spent enjoying nature with my loved ones.

Degrees:
• B.S. in Biochemistry
• D.V.M. from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine

Why did you choose to become a veterinarian?
I have always had a love of animals and passion for science and medicine. I love learning, being challenged, and being able to care for creatures who don’t have their own voice. It is important to me that all animals receive love, respect, and care.

What is your goal walking into every patient visit?
To make the patient and client feel comfortable, informed, and that the clients’ pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands with me to provide the best medical care that I possibly can each visit.

Do you have a mantra or philosophy that you live by?
Treat all creatures and all people with love, respect, and kindness. Never give up on your goals.

Who makes up your family (pets and/or people)?
Mom & dad, 1 sister, 2 brothers – I’m the oldest. 1 dog named Lady, and 2 cats – Xena and Zuzu.

What do your pets mean to you?
My pets are my best friends. They give me joy, love, and great company, They are a reminder of why I became a vet and the importance and impact of pets on our lives.

Please tell us anything else about yourself:
I love anything active and outdoors, working out, running, and relaxing with my pets. I enjoy going out to eat and breweries with family and friends.

I have an article published in the Journal of Fish Diseases. I won the ACVP Student Award in 2019. I ran 2 marathons and countless half marathons. I love traveling and the beach.

Dr. Christine Wright is one of the many wonderful veterinarians we have on our team here at All Creatures Animal Hospital. She received her DVM from North Carolina State University. She has always loved science and medicine and she could not imagine herself doing anything other than helping to improve the bond between humans and animals.

Dr. Wright and her boyfriend, Brandon, who is also a veterinarian share their home with perfect kitty-Tigger, and their rambunctious border collie mix – Titan. She considers Tigger her baby. Even when Tigger is being destructive, she can still do no wrong. She has had Tigger since she was a tiny kitten. They have shared many milestones together; moves, schools, jobs.

Titan means the world to Dr. Wright. He is full of energy and is a wild child who is a total daddy’s boy.

Dr. Wright’s goal when walking into every visit with a patient is to have a positive impact on both the patient’s and client’s lives. Her philosophy she lives by is to focus more on what brings you joy rather than what soothes your fear.

When Dr. Wright isn’t caring for your pets you can find her reading, hiking, going to the beach, baking, and spending time with her family and friends.

Fun fact, she is originally from the Tampa Bay area and she is very excited to be back in her hometown.

What college did you attend? What degrees/certifications you have?
I graduated from Auburn University with my Bachelors in Animal Science (WAR EAGLE!) in 2014 and The Ohio State University with my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2019.

Why did you decide to become a veterinarian?
Like most veterinarians, my passion for caring for animals started at a young age. My default answer to “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was always a veterinarian (or a country music singer). I grew up with family dogs, sought out friends with cats (since my dad was allergic), rode horses, volunteered at shelters, worked as a kennel tech and veterinary technician all the way up until I was able to finalize my dream and attend veterinary school.

Who makes up your family (pets and/or people)?
My little family includes my husband Brandon who I’ve known since high school (we were on the same rowing team), our Puerto Rican rescue pup Pepito, and our two cats Gatsby and Walter.

What do your pets mean to you?
My pets mean everything to me – my cat Gatsby was my furry emotional support throughout vet school, and since then I’ve added a couple more to my pack. As I’m sure we would all say, my pets are not pets. They are truly family and endlessly spoiled.

What is your goal walking into every patient visit?
My goal for every patient visit is to provide the best quality care while keeping in mind their owner’s goals, wishes and finances. I love my patients like they were my own pets and I ask myself in every appointment – “If this was my pet, what would I do?”

Do you have a mantra or philosophy you that you live by?
Several qualities I try to keep in mind in every interaction I have – be kind, be compassionate, be empathetic. I am constantly trying to put myself in others shoes and understand why individuals are the way they are. Everyone has an entire individual life they have lived to get them to this point in time and it is important to keep things in perspective.

What are your hobbies/interests?
My husband and I enjoy new experiences – traveling, good food and drinks, quality time with friends and family. Specifically, we enjoy watching sports, board games, video games, outdoor adventures, beach time and quiet time with a good TV show or book. And of course we love snuggling our pets!

Fun fact: I grew up in Tampa and attended Carrollwood Elementary School, Williams Middle School and Hillsborough Highschool for my freshman year before moving to Gainesville to finish high school. A little fun fact – my first ever veterinary shadowing experience was in middle school at Temple Terrace Animal Hospital with Dr. Welborn!
