In this episode of Speaking of Pets, we’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Constanze Goricki, a veterinarian with a remarkable journey. After earning her veterinary degree in Munich, Germany, Dr. Goricki completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the University of Pennsylvania College of Veterinary Medicine. She then went on to serve as a vet for Marineland and the Florida Stranding Network, both of which we'll dive into with plenty of questions.

Two years ago, Dr. Goricki became the head of the Jacksonville team for the Street Dog Coalition, an organization dedicated to providing veterinary care to the pets of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. In this episode, we explore her path to joining the Street Dog Coalition and the incredible work she does to support pets and their owners in need.

Dr. Goricki shares the challenges and rewards of her work, explaining how the Street Dog Coalition helps bridge the gap between pet care and human health. We also discuss the importance of the human-animal bond, especially for those in vulnerable situations, and how this connection can often be a lifeline. Tune in to hear her inspiring story and learn more about the impact this work has on both pets and their people.
