When I graduated from the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, I had one mission in life: To help pets live long and happy lives. And my degree is a big part of that: I know the value of preventive care and proper treatment of medical conditions.
But it’s so much more than that, isn’t it? When I started this website in 2009 and really began to explore what a happy life is for a pet, I truly began to embrace the importance of everything we do for ourselves and our pets. The addition of a hyperactive Golden and an overweight rescued labrador to our family really made me explore not only medicine, but the entire healthy lifestyle.
Brody demands a lot of exercise and attention. Doing this together helped me shed some pounds myself, and as our bond increased, so did my understanding of what a healthy lifestyle truly means.
The cornerstones of a healthy life are as follows: good nutrition, good medicine, fun exercise, and lots of love. All of these components are equally important in our lives. When we enjoy good health, we enjoy a good life. The same goes for our family pet.
My work has allowed me to travel the world and meet some incredible animals and wonderful people who teach me more everyday about the pet healthy lifestyle. When we have this, we have happiness, and that is invaluable.
Live well.
Take advantage of every opportunity to engage in the world around you.
And for goodness’ sake, have fun. It’s what it’s all about.
