“It reflects, I think, the spectrum of pet ownership and just how different cultures care for pets and love pets. You know we didn’t really know what to do with this dog but we learned over time and we were so grateful for people who helped us. But it really convey that loving and owning a pet comes in a variety of ways.”

Our guest today is Dr. Chumkee Aziz. Dr. Aziz is a graduate Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. After veterinary school, she completed a small animal rotating internship with ASPCA in New York, then a shelter medicine residency at UC Davis. She shares that her path to veterinary medicine was not a straight shot and it all changed with one special dog. This career has led her to some amazing places and experience as well as opportunities. She currently serves as the president of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. We learn so much about the importance of mentorship and following your passion as well as the impact you can have on your community. It’s such a fun and inspiring episode. We cannot wait to share this journey with you.
