Why I Love What I Do
Supporting families through their pet’s golden years is both my passion and my privilege. The bond we share with our pets is truly unique, and the final chapter of their lives often carries the deepest meaning. It is during this time that we have the opportunity to show up fully for our beloved companions as they lean on us for comfort and care. In veterinary medicine, we are fortunate to provide a peaceful, dignified passing—free of fear and pain, and surrounded by love. While the loss of a pet is profoundly painful, grief is also a reflection of the deep love and cherished memories shared. Being able to walk alongside families through this experience is a profound and humbling honor.
