A Vet's Tips on Field Care for Your Dog

Dr. Jay Brekke has had a dedication to animals from a young age. His experiences loving and helping animals as a child led directly to his passion for veterinary medicine. Dr. Brekke completed his undergraduate degree in three years and earned early acceptance to Colorado State’s Veterinary program. Dr. Brekke currently provides care to multiple Colorado animal rescues with low cost spay and neutering and veterinary care. He serves on the board of Natures Educators, a nonprofit wildlife education organization, as well as the board of trustees for the American Veterinary Medical Association LIFE insurance program. When he is not practicing, Dr. Brekke enjoys the outdoors, traveling and spending time with his family. He has owned Labrador Retrievers, a German Short-haired Pointer and, since meeting his wife, poodles.
