Meet the Team Series | Part 1: Dr. Lina Godine! 🐾🩺

We are excited to introduce Dr. Lina, who, alongside her brother Taylor, will be taking over ownership of Forest Lakes Veterinary Clinic this December!

A Charlottesville native, Dr. Lina brings a lifelong love of animals, a strong background in veterinary medicine, and a deep commitment to compassionate patient care. After earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Virginia Tech, she practiced in Nashville before returning home to continue her family’s legacy of caring for the Charlottesville community.

Dr. Lina is passionate about the human-animal bond and providing pets and their families with thoughtful, compassionate care. Outside the clinic, she enjoys hiking with her dog, Jubilee, baking, and gardening.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Lina and celebrating this exciting new chapter for Forest Lakes Veterinary Clinic! We look forward to what’s ahead and are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community.

This is just the beginning! Stay tuned as we introduce more faces and share more stories in our Meet the Team series! 🐶

🦎 Meet Rocco, the bearded dragon! 🦎

Did you know bearded dragons have ears, even though they don’t have external ear flaps like we do? Their ear openings are located on the sides of their heads and allow them to hear sounds around them. 👂

Rocco may look like a little dinosaur, but he’s got some pretty impressive senses! 🦖

Have you ever noticed a bearded dragon’s ears before?

🐾Meet Bear & Thunder! 🐾

Today’s breed spotlight: the German Shepherd!

Known for being intelligent, loyal, athletic, and eager to learn, German Shepherds are incredible working and family dogs. They do best with regular exercise, mental stimulation, training, and routine veterinary care.

They can also be predisposed to certain health concerns, including hip and elbow dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and bloat (GDV), making preventative care especially important.

Bear & Thunder came in today for their wellness exams and vaccines, and we were happy to see these handsome siblings! 🐾
