About Vet

Susan’s love for animals is apparent in her 12 years of collegiate coursework. Initially, Susan planned to impact animals by studying their genomes to discover disease-causing variants, but she couldn’t imagine her life without a daily dose of animals and decided to leave the lab with a Master’s degree in Integrative Genetics and Genomics upon acceptance to LSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Susan’s dream job was to own a mobile wellness practice for small animals, allowing her to make a positive impact on the pet-loving community. Her dream came true and she opened Vet on the Geaux! Find her online at vetonthegeaux.com !

Susan lives on a small ranch with 6 dogs, 17 cats, a box turtle, a bearded dragon, 11 chickens, and a horse. She rescued all of her animals except the chickens, who she raised from birth. She loves senior animals and regularly fosters the oldest small dogs from shelters in her area. Medically, Susan prefers wellness visits and management of chronic diseases, as well as nutrition, behavior, allergies, and dermatology.

In the future, Susan hopes to open a rescue facility for senior pets, pets with disabilities, and pets with chronic diseases. She loves the "underdog" and is passionate about making sure every pet has access to appropriate healthcare.

I do not prescribe medications to CVS pharmacies.

Dr. Waters was great! I didn’t know what to expect from a tele-vet appointment. It was so user-friendly and convenient… I highly recommend her!

Hi, Frankly, I get a little tired of leaving reviews. Maybe that's inconsiderate, but in the case of my experience as a first time customer of Vetster, I definitely wanted to reach out and recognize those that assisted me with arranging a prescription to be processed . I was wanting to get my cat a dose of antibiotic before I was out of pocket with some surgery preparation I had myself the next day. I was getting stressed, and I think some empathetic Vetster Customer Service employees took my situation to heart, and were a great help and comfort. I'm concerned others might have been involved as well, so please take time to commend them as well, but the names I have are Emily Segal, and Rebecca and Nikita. I just felt a lot of empathy and concern coming from these folks. My Appointment was Nov. 25 at 12:30p with Dr. Waters, who I've already put in a deserving good word for. My first experience with Vetster across the board was excellent!! Please wish these folks a MC from me!!

Dr. Susan Waters had a positive attitude and was attentive to my dogs needs regarding hot spots. Too, I commend her for suggestions for how to treat hot spots and explained what causes dogs to develop such irritating spots.

Great experience.Vet was punctual and had reviewed notes prior to call. I took my dog to the tractor supply walk in clinic this weekend to get his annual vaccinations and blood test (this was my first time). They could do all his annual testing for about 30 percent of full service vet I assumed was totally healthy which is why I chose to save the money and go to the walk in clinic. I received his test results several days later and was surprised to find out he had a positive test from a tick bacteria. He needed a prescription to get rid of it but the email stated that he could need to go to a full service vet because they only do the testing/vaccines (not prescriptions or full service). I decided to book the online vet because it was faster, more convenient and cheaper. I sent his test results directly through the portal and they sent the prescription same day. Great service!
