MaryMargaret Staples

Practice Manager

MaryMargaret Staples has been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. She started as a kennel assistant and worked her way up to the role of practice manager. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in biology with a minor in chemistry and biophysics from the University of South Florida.

MaryMargaret spent a year in veterinary school at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine on the island of St. Kitty until life had other plans for her. After leaving veterinary school, she joined a multi-practice organization and managed two practices for over 2 years. She’s delighted to be the Practice Manager of UrgentVet where she leads a team of veterinary professionals providing care for cats and dogs with minor illnesses and injuries.

When MaryMargaret isn’t at the clinic, you can find her spending time with her chickens, rabbit, dogs, and cats at home with her fiancé. She also enjoys visiting Disney World and exploring the parks. She loves to travel and would like to see the world one day.

Doja Cat

Clinic Cat

Doja Cat joined UrgentVet Lakeland in August 2022 after being hit by a car. She was scared and in shock but after some TLC from our team – she recovered and even began to show signs of being a little rascal.

Eventually, she was officially hired as the Director of Moral Support for pets and people. Surprisingly, she is known to befriend the big dogs that visit UrgentVet, quickly helping them feel more comfortable. When she is not assisting patients, Doja Cat is a pro at “cleaning off” counters. She has learned from UrgentVet leadership that clutter should not be a thing in the hospital!

In her spare time, she enjoys crawling into peoples’ jackets and sleeping in their sleeves. Fun fact – she loves Spanish Rice, although we don’t recommend people food for pets without first consulting your regular veterinarian, of course.
