ABOUT US 

Hi!  I'M DR. JOY!

I am a veterinarian, wife to an amazing husband, and advocate for people and their pets. We currently have 6 crazy cats, and I have previously shared my life with 5 amazing dogs and 3 precious cats. 

Animals have always held a special place in my heart. They've brought immeasurable fun, unconditional love, and laughter into my life. They have filled pieces of my soul when there weren't any humans I would let reach it.  And my heart has shattered into a thousand pieces every time I've had to say goodbye to my own pets, and often when I've helped guide my clients towards making those difficult decisions. 

Early in my career, I realized that most of my clients, while intelligent, did not have a lot of "medical literacy"- ie their cat may have had a disease for a number of years, and they didn't entirely know what to expect with the disease, what their treatment options were, why they were using certain medications, or what their cat was experiencing. 

My clients wanted to treat their cat's diseases or prevent them from occurring in the first place, but they often didn't understand the basics of what they were fighting or how to effectively fight it.  

I treasure my animals, and my goal has always been to be able to help people take care of their pets by giving them all of the options possible.  I realized that the best ways to have the best outcomes for my patients was by thoroughly educating their pet parent.  

Education is the great equalizer in achieving fantastic healthcare!  Understanding all your options for treating your cat's diseases can vastly improve their quality of life and their lifespan. A large percentage of my current patients are geriatric cats that have major disease battles, such as chronic kidney disease, chronic vomiting, or hyperthyroidism- and have been able to make it past 20 years of age with basic, but proactive life modifications.  I try to present clients with options ranging from "gold standard" all the way to options that won't break the bank.  I will tell you exactly where I would direct my dollars if I was limited in budget, and also share tips and tricks I have amassed over the following decade that can help you save your dollars, as well. 

If you're tired of not knowing or understanding all your options, and your vet is just too busy to answer all your questions or is hard to reach...if you just don't know what questions to ask- I can help you understand the battle you are fighting, and help you take initiative to alter your cat's life.     

If you don't understand your cat's medical condition(s) like you want, and you want to help your cat's quality and quantity of life, you don't have to stay there! Will you let me help you?

With highest regards,

Dr. Joy

P.S. I am creating new courses all the time!  Please feel free to email us with questions or suggestions for future courses.  Access to courses is not restricted, but my courses will be most helpful if your cat has been diagnosed with a specific medical condition- aka- this is not designed for you to self-diagnose your cat.  These courses do not exist in a void, but should be combined with your regular vet visits and labwork, which are essential to diagnosis and great outcomes!
