Dr. Stepita is a board-certified Veterinary Behaviorist specialist for Encina Veterinary Hospital in Walnut Creek California.
Join us for an open discussion about life after amputation. We will discuss a variety of topics including:
post-op mental health for both pet and parent
suggestions for returning to normalcy after amputation
bringing home a new Tripawd to the pack
coping with the stress of cancer care
introducing a new Tripawd to other dogs
Dr. Stepita’s passion for behavior is due to the very special bond shared between human and pet. As a pet owner herself, she knows how important your pet is to you. She chose to become a board certified veterinary behaviorist after learning how many pets are unfortunately given away, rehomed or euthanized due to behavior issues. Dr. Stepita wants to change the statistics and help keep you and your pet together in harmony.
She says: “I decided to pursue veterinary medicine so that I could best help animals, and in veterinary school I discovered my passion for behavior. I am fortunate to have a very rewarding career, helping dedicated owners work through behavior problems with their pets and potentially save pets from relinquishment to shelters.”
You do not need to call in to listen to the show. Only call if you have questions for Dr Stepita, or post your questions below. Keep them brief and to the point, we will try to work them into the show.
