As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology (Veterinary Nursing), I am well-educated in the anatomy, physiology, health, nutrition, behavior, and training for a variety of species. In addition to working with both domestic and exotic pets in private practice, I have interned at two different zoos (Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and Chattanooga Zoo here in Chattanooga). I have also personally advanced my own training and continuing education in feline and canine behavior as well as nutrition and dietary physiology. I have the education, skills, knowledge, and devotion necessary to perform any and all veterinary technician services to clients.
Client education is a passion of mine and I really love to answer health questions and discuss detailed topics like nutrition, wellness, dental care, puppy/kitten care, behavior, genetics, breeds and coat/eye colors, etc. I also happen to maintain a blog dedicated to answering the most common topics I see asked on social media and receive via e-mail. I write articles that are extremely in-depth, researched, cited, etc. If you’d like to check it out, please click the stethoscope to visit:
I love what I do, and I genuinely love helping the community have better, healthier lives and relationships with their pets.
First and Foremost: As an LVT, I cannot legally diagnose, prognose, prescribe, or perform surgical procedures. Those are restricted to a licensed DVM.
I *can* give answers to your questions (within my scope), provide information about what possibilities may be, and give in-depth information about any health topic or concerns about your pet, but I cannot specifically diagnose any ailments or injuries.
I also cannot legally administer vaccines without the supervision (direct or indirect) of a licensed DVM. I’m very sorry, as I know this is sorely needed in Walker County. An owner may legally administer vaccines to their own pet, but administering vaccines to another person’s animal constitutes practicing veterinary medicine without a license in both Georgia AND Tennessee. However, I highly recommend Dr. Jen Eachus at Healthy Paws Mobile Veterinary Services for vaccines. We are currently working on teaming up to offer more vaccination opportunities and walk-in clinics!
