"The support at DoveLewis was the most valuable part of the internship. I was able to formulate my own treatment plan and have primary communication with the clients, but always had a seasoned clinician by my side to support and give new insight into my decisions. Unlike the university setting where the gold standard is a must, I enjoyed the challenge of presenting a variety of treatment options that both benefitted the patient and was feasible for the client."
- Dr. Sarah Tauber, Staff DVM and Former DoveLewis Intern
