Ep. 82: Everyone Is An Artist: Living Your Best Life as a Mobile Vet; Meet Dr. Dawn Filos

Dr. Dawn Filos grew up in New Jersey, in a family of eccentric animal lovers, preparing her for a lifelong career spent with like-minded pet people. She spent most of her career in Pennsylvania, where she remained after veterinary school for the last ~32 years. She is a house call vet and had a practice called Bucks Mercer Mobile Vet straddling New Jersey & Pennsylvania, and has written a book about her experiences as a house call veterinarian called Tails of A Pet Vet: Stories from the Clinic and House Calls! She now splits her time between Arizona, & New York. Her blog www.drdawnthepetvet.com was originally started to augment pet first aid classes and pet CPR courses she taught for years. It began as more informational and evolved to focus on the benefits of the human-animal bond, a topic that interests her and features prominently and often throughout her book.
