We are equipped with advanced surgical and diagnostic equipment but our most valuable asset is our staff; we are all dedicated, professional and experienced people who care deeply and passionately for all animals and we love what we do.

We give great importance to the relationship you have with your pet, the “Human Animal Bond”. All of our team are pet lovers and pet owners, so we can relate. Our pets are members of our families. We’d like you to feel that “your veterinarian is your other family doctor”.

Dr. David graduated as a DVM from University of Guelph (in his native Canada) in 1982, and worked in mixed-animal practices in BC’s Rocky Mountains, and near Vancouver. He owned his own successful small-animal clinic, in the beach-town where he lived, from 1987-1994, and made "aliya", moving to Israel in 1995.

David founded the original Vets4Pets clinic in Herzliya Pituach in 1997, and then the clinic in Jaffa in 2008. Vets4Pets was the first vet clinic in Jaffa. Since 2015, David has been focusing on his life and his work, in Jaffa only. 

As a member of the Israeli Companion Animal Veterinary Association he keeps up to date by attending seminars and conferences. David brings to the clinic more than 37 years of companion-animal veterinary experience, together with his own compassion for the patients. He also treats with complementary veterinary medicine, blending western and alternative vet medicine to treat holistically.

When David decided at age five that he would become a veterinarian, he never changed his mind. Through the years, he has had 8 dogs and 10 cats of his own, as well as rabbits and guinea pigs, birds, turtles, salamanders, mice, a rat, fish, chickens, sheep, a goat, a horse, a donkey (who knew how to open a sliding door into the living room to sneak onto the couch), and has of course been the ‘revolving door’ caretaker of endless street kittens and puppies who he raised and then adopted out.

Jenny the Beagle is David’s canine companion these days, and his shadow, joining him in his van, at work, and off-work on walks and hikes in parks, fields, forests and beaches.

David has four wonderful children, Ami, Maia, Gilad and Ofri, and is happily married to Noa.

Ever since he was a kid, Tom knew he wanted to work with animals and always said that he wanted to be a veterinarian when he grew up. Tom’s “romance” with veterinary medicine started when he was 12 years old and volunteered at a veterinary clinic that saved his dog with emergency surgery. For years, Tom would come to that clinic every summer, help with whatever he could and, of course, observe surgeries.

While studying for his B.A. in The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Tom worked as an assistant in a veterinary clinic there and when he graduated and came back to Tel Aviv he started working at a large clinic in Ramat Gan. He worked there as an assistant for almost a year until he had to leave to study in Hungary in order to pursue his dream of becoming a veterinarian. During the 4 years of studying, Tom visited the clinic in Ramat Gan every time he visited Israel. When graduated and returned to Israel, he started working there as a substitute veterinarian.

Tom is a member of the Israeli Companion Animal Veterinary Medicine and in 2010 joined us at Vets 4 Pets, immediately becoming very popular amongst the clients and their owners. While calm under pressure, and comforting to the patients, he is very logical, thoughtful and gets to the root of the problems, reassuring the concerned owners.

Tom is a father of twins, so when he can, he likes spending time on the computer or listening to fascinating podcasts on various subjects and watching series on TV. On the reast of the little free time left, he attends veterinarian conferences in order to keep up to date and broaden his knowledge.
