We’re so proud of Lauren Benfield – the newest member of the Texas A&M Vet School class of 2030! 🎉👍🏻 Becoming a veterinarian has been Lauren’s dream for as long as we’ve known her and she is so close to making that dream a reality.

Lauren started shadowing Dr. Lastovica and Dr. Pitmon in 8th grade through the Texas 4-H Youth Development vet science project and has continued to work alongside us ever since. We’re thrilled to have her back at the clinic while she prepares to start vet school.

Robert Lastovica tried his hardest to convince her to go to Aggieland for her undergraduate studies and we know he’d be so proud of her decision to pursue her doctorate there, just like we all are!
