“I chose this profession because of my love for animals and a fascination with he medical profession. I especially enjoy the challenge of diagnostic medicine.
My veterinary work is exciting because it gives me a chance to make a difference in the life of a pet and their owner. I am moved by the love and affection that animals share with their people.”
Our featured pet is Tucker, a 4yr old French Mastiff. Tucker is the epitome of a survivor here at Encina. After being diagnosed with heart failure, Tucker was shortly after diagnosed with Heartworm disease. We're proud to say he's negative for Heartworm disease as of 06/2011 and doing great on his medications!
