Meet Elizabeth Moses

We were lucky to catch up with Elizabeth Moses recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

This is a great question. Like many people – my work ethic was built out of necessity. Growing up in poverty is a huge driving factor. I knew that if something in my life didn’t change the cycle would just continue with me. Once that ball started rolling – it was easier for me to put the work in to get the positive results. I have always worked hard – while in veterinary school I had as many as 3 jobs at one time (including working for the Canadian Military).

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

As an emergency veterinarian at VEG ER For Pets, I care for animals and their families during some of their most stressful moments. No two days are ever alike, and that unpredictability is part of what makes this work so rewarding.

What sets VEG apart is our open, people-first approach… pet parents stay with their pets through exams and treatments, and we walk them through every step with honesty and compassion. It’s a model that truly puts both people and pets at ease.

I’m especially excited about VEG’s continued growth; every new hospital means more pets have access to 24/7 emergency care delivered with empathy and transparency. It’s an honor to be part of that mission.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are empathy, adaptability, and communication. Emergency medicine can be unpredictable, so being able to stay calm, connect with people, and pivot quickly is essential.

For anyone early in their career, I’d say: lean into hands-on experience, seek mentors who challenge and support you, and never lose sight of compassion, for both pets and people. Technical skills will come with time, but empathy and communication are what truly make you a great veterinarian.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?

Two years ago, the most important thing happened to me. I became a mom to a beautiful baby girl. Since then I’ve had my second child, a beautiful baby boy. In that time I have gone through a huge amount of growth as I’ve moved into this new chapter in my life. I have experienced the joys of motherhood and in this I feel like I can relate with my clientele now more than ever. I have a new and exciting perspective on life which changes my attitude while helping people and their pets.
