Meet Dr. Teresa Schumacher - Veterinarian and Co-Founder of Aluna!
Dr. Schumacher has 10+ years of experience in emergency and critical care medicine, and has worked at multiple specialty clinics around the country since completing her education at the University of California, Davis and a rotating internship in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
As rewarding as her career in the ER has been, her experiences have opened her eyes to many areas in which veterinary medicine could improve, and ultimately led her to create a company that bridges these gaps in care.
When it comes to clinical practice, she is a strong believer that the veterinary oath should extend to all animals, regardless of background, ownership, economic status, or location, and that veterinarians hold a responsibility to not only care for animals but also to educate the general public on all matters of animal health and well-being. She is a proponent of animal adoption and an outspoken advocate against backyard breeding and animal cruelty.
Dr. Schumacher’s passion lies not only in helping individual patients, but also in practicing medicine in a way that takes into account the health of people, other animals (including wildlife), and the planet we call home. She utilizes this One Health Approach in every aspect of Aluna Veterinary Services’ day to day business practices.
Dr. Schumacher has big dreams for Aluna Veterinary Services, but she also believes that a strong sense of local community is the foundation for success. Therefore she has strategically started small, building Aluna’s clientele one visit, one patient, one healthy outcome at a time.
