About Vet

Dr. Nina Owens grew up in a home with a mother who had one rule; "You can have as many animals as you like as long as I can't smell them." Dr. Owens took that rule and ran with it, filling her bedroom to the brink with a snake, chinchilla, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, lovebirds, and fire-bellied newts. By the age of 5, she knew that there was no other option for her life than to become a veterinarian. After graduating from Hamilton College with a degree in Biology, she went to the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated with honors in 1998. She spent 14 years in Cincinnati working in small animal hospitals and raising her family before moving to California and working as a relief vet for 8 years. She now lives in sunny Florida and is enjoying all of the unique and beautiful Florida wildlife. Her special interests include preventive care, internal medicine, dermatology, acupuncture, and the needs of senior pets. After over 20 years of working with people and their pets, she remains in awe of the incredible strength of the human-animal bond. She is an avid dachshund and doodle enthusiast!

I’m so thankful we were able to meet with Dr. Owens! She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful, and you can really tell how much she cares about what she does. She assisted us with our puppy, Winnie, who had been experiencing a limp. Even though our visit was virtual, Dr. Owens was able to carefully assess what was going on, explain everything to us, and come up with a clear care plan for Winnie. We felt so reassured after speaking with her and are incredibly grateful for her care and attention. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Owens!

I would move to wherever Dr. Nina Owens is based so that I could always have my pets see her. I recommend her to the moon and back because she understood my pet's situation and knew we needed not just immediate help, but also a longer-term plan of action. Dr. Owens gave me THE best advice on my dog's condition than I've received as I sought a solution from 3 others.
