Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Leah Hill moved to the United States in 1990 and earned her veterinary degree from Iowa State School of Veterinary Medicine in 1999. In 2004, she purchased a veterinary clinic in Merced, California, where she quickly noticed a lack of local emergency services for pets. Understanding the stress pet owners faced when forced to drive over an hour during critical situations, Dr. Hill established a 24/7 emergency clinic to provide accessible care to her community. She owned and operated the clinic until 2016, when she sold the practice but continues to practice small animal medicine, regularly handling emergencies with the same dedication she’s shown throughout her career.  Driven by her commitment to helping pet owners, she authored the Pet Vet First Aid Guide and created a specialized Pet First Aid Kit to equip people with the tools they need during emergencies when veterinary care may not be immediately available. Dr. Hill currently resides in Orange County with her husband, daughter, two yellow labs, and two cats.
