Dr. Jacki

Our ASK THE VET Columnist

It is with great pride and pleasure that I introduce you to your new ASK THE VET columnist. Dr. Jacki will be answering your questions and offering helpful tips in her column right here on All Things Dog Blog.

An Orlando area native, Dr. Jacki is a graduate of Auburn University and has been practicing veterinary medicine for 12 years. In addition to working in several local groups, she now has a house call practice, 4 Paws House Calls, that handles most regular veterinary care. A busy mom, she has a passion for pets and for helping families get the care they need, whether it be in their home or by answering a question or two in this column.

Dr. Jacki is excited to begin helping you with your dog health and welfare concerns. Got a dog question, concern, or just need an education about some aspect of dog care? Now's your chance to get more information on your particular issue. You may send your questions for ASK THE VET to LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com and please include "Ask the Vet" in the subject line.

If you have a specialized problem, I encourage you to make an appointment with a veterinarian and get personalized care. Our ASK THE VET column is designed for general areas of interest or concern in the field of dog medicine. General healthcare questions, vaccinations, wellness testing, prescription side effects, pet products, feeding guidelines, flea and tick prevention, bathing and coat care, and other areas that relate to overall health will be suitable questions for ASK THE VET. If you submit training or grooming questions, they should be related to the dog's health.

Feel free to submit a photo or two of your best friend (no people please), along with first names. No last names or personal information will be shared or published on the blog. By sending your photo, you agree to have the picture published on this blog, if Dr. Jacki answers your question here.

All questions may not be answered on the blog, whether related to excess volume or unsuitable content. Personal responses are not possible.

Information on ASK THE VET will also be available in the sidebar. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting with your questions about healthcare for your best friend. Remember, our ASK THE VET email is LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com . Let's get those emails coming!
