About Vet

Hello, I’m Dr. Roy. I look forward to helping you and your pet from the comfort of your home. You will have my undivided attention for up to 30 minutes.

Enzo, my pup and constant companion, will help during our video appointment.

I grew up on a ranch in Texas. With my father’s encouragement, I received my DVM from Texas A&M.

During my career, I’ve been fortunate to practice on many species. A for armadillos to Z for Zebras.

I enjoy telling tall tales of my experiences!

The Human Animal Bond is dear to my heart. I helped launch pet visitation programs at the Houston Medical Center during the 1980s.

I’ve served on numerous boards and volunteered my services and time to shelters and animal rescue groups.

Ongoing continued education keeps me up-to-date on the rapid advancements in veterinary medicine.

Photography is a hobby. Follow me on IG as I explore Arizona. dvm_roylcruzen

This is the second time I have used Vetster, and I can not praise it enough. Both of the Vets I have seen have been amazing. Dr. Cruzen listened to me, made sure I understood what he was suggesting and why he was suggesting it. The experience was more like a chat with a very knowledgeable and professional family friend than a clinical appointment. I live in a very rural area with limited vet services, especially on weekends, which of course is when my cats decide to get sick. I am so incredibly grateful that I found this site. Every member of the staff that I have interacted with has been incredible. Highly recommend.

Dr. Cruzen helped us to deduce and treat an accidental toxic ingestion. My dog, Ribbon, was feeling much better in a couple of days and was her normal self after a week! Thank you, Dr. Cruzen.
