Temecula Creek Equine Staff

The Doctors

Dr. Jeffrey Moss
Veterinarian, Owner

Dr. Jeffrey Moss graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2005 after completing his undergraduate studies in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona. It was when he received his additional training in equine dentistry and joint injection techniques, that he found a passion for performance horse medicine. Over the last decade, Dr. Moss' expertise in lameness exams and joint injections has made him highly sought after in Southern California, by professional riders and horse trainers alike. As the founder and owner of Temecula Creek Veterinary, Dr. Moss shares his knowledge and experience whenever possible with staff members and clients. He also enjoys giving back to the community by participating in many guest lectures at 4-H and FFA clubs, equestrian riding clubs, and local schools. Dr. Moss is a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and the American Veterinary Medical Association.
"I always wanted to be a veterinarian". His love of animals was evident from an early age as he worked alongside his father, an FFA advisor at San Pasqual High School in Escondido. He continues to dedicate his life to animals. He believes that through volunteerism and education, people will learn better animal husbandry practices and in turn improve the lives of their animals. Dr. Moss resides in Temecula with his wife Stephanie and their three children, Emily, Steven and Laci. In his free time he loves to go fishing with his son, waterskiing, and watching his kids play sports and many other outdoor/water activities.
