About the founder
Dr. Peter Mosites, DVM
I founded Mermaid Vet Hospital in 2020, during one of the most challenging times the veterinary field has faced. Through hard work and a clear vision, that practice grew into a trusted part of veterinary care in Vero Beach.
My time with the U.S. Army Reserve — including a 2022 deployment as Officer in Charge of veterinary operations during Operation Inherent Resolve — shaped how I lead: with discipline, preparation, and accountability.
Mermaid SANDS grew out of a simple goal: build a cost-effective, high-volume clinic that gives families real value without cutting corners on medical care or the wellbeing of our team. Every dollar donated goes toward that mission.
Dr. Mosites is supported by a rotating staff of veterinary technicians and assistants from Mermaid Vet Hospital as well as other local clinics for surgical and clinical care
We proudly serve Vero Beach, Sebastian, Palm Bay, and surrounding areas.
