✨ Today we’re celebrating the brilliant RVT mind behind so much of what we do — Danika!
Danika has an incredible gift for helping pets with complex medical needs, offering one-on-one support and creating detailed, thoughtful nutrition plans that make a real difference. Her passion for pet nutrition is unmatched — she’s constantly researching, learning, and even sharing her expertise at conferences! We’re so lucky to have her intelligence and dedication on our team. ❤️
We asked Danika some questions so you can get to know her better:
What was your very first pet’s name, and what kind of animal were they? The first animals that I had the pleasure of knowing as a very young child were two cats named Zoey and Bretty.
What kind of drink do you get when you want a treat? My favourite special drink when I'm out and about is anything involving the word tea! ...most often lately this has been in the form of Bubble Tea! 🧋
What’s one thing you can’t live without at work? This one is split between my calculator, a steadfast friend as I complete multiple dose and calorie calculations each day and my 750ml Yeti filled with tea!
What’s your favorite thing about working in veterinary medicine? Veterinary medicine provides such a complex menagerie of new experiences, learning opportunities, heartfelt moments and friendships with professionals and clients alike. Each aspect challenges you to grow as a team player and as a human being. Veterinary medicine is my passion, and I am grateful to be an RVT! ❤
If your pet could talk, what’s the first thing you think they’d say? The first thing Yoongi and Reika would say is, "More liver bites pawleeeeze!!"
If you weren’t working in vet med, what other career might you have pursued? I think that if I had pursued another career, it would have either been as a Death Doula, where I could help create a supportive and safe space for a person and their family to experience the dying process with the goal of creating a "good death" or I would have been a forensic pathologist, where I could use science and medicine to put puzzle pieces together to assist in solving cases.
