Why did Dr. Thaler become a veterinarian?

“I’ve always had a passion for animals and wanted to become a veterinarian since I was in the second grade. We’ve had a variety of pets growing up including cats, a hamster, a goldfish, a horse, dogs, and a rabbit. Over time that passion grew and developed from learning the biology and science about animals to helping owners and their pets. I love talking to people about their pets; the human-animal bond is truly amazing. In addition, there is always something new to learn in veterinary medicine. So I’m excited to see where this career takes me.”
