On the road with Dr. Xavier Meaux

Many veterinarians will agree that preventive care is the secret to keeping pets healthy and happy at all times.  However, achieving this can prove to be a daunting task especially when your clients do not believe it to be true.  It is for this reason that most veterinarians are looking forward to helping clients understand the significance of preventative healthcare and the value of making visits to the veterinarian.  One professional who is already raising the bar of quality and service in veterinary medicine is Miami’s Dr. Xavier Meaux. 

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Dr. Xavier Meaux has greatly transformed the veterinary industry.  After receiving his Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Purdue University in 2002, he went on to graduate from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006.  It is after his graduation that he started his quest of making the veterinary industry better.  

After amassing years of experience as a relief emergency veterinarian, Dr. Meaux together with Pedro Armstrong, DVM, DACVIM, decided to start a company called Mobile Pet Imaging.  This is after witnessing how patients with neck discomfort find it hard to eat, yet most radiologists and doctors would think twice before putting the patient in a CT scanner.

Mobile Pet Imaging is already changing the veterinary landscape by making imaging technology more accessible to patients having neck discomfort and others with less daunting features such as floppy ears.  What is even more fascinating is the fact that the company delivers robotic high-definition CT (HD CT), fluoroscopy, and IR straight to the doorsteps of veterinary facilities.  For Dr. Meaux, this is just but a new beginning for veterinarians with many things expected in the future.
