Dr. Zlatow (Dr. Z) is a Tucson local who has spent time abroad in the Philippines and Hong Kong. Her lifelong dream to become a veterinarian grew out of love for her own pets, and was strengthened by researching canine cognition at Yale, shadowing a variety of veterinarians around the world, and working as a veterinary assistant. 

Dr. Z graduated as a veterinarian (DVM) from The University of Arizona's College of Veterinary Medicine. She holds veterinary acupuncture certification (CVA) through Chi University, and achieved Elite Fear Free Certified status to ensure reduced pet stress at vet visits. Prior to veterinary school, Dr. Z graduated from Stanford University with a MS in Laboratory Animal Science, and Yale University with a BA focused on Chinese language.

She enjoys travel, film, art, iced coffee and hot tea, and outdoor activities with her pup, Peach. Dr. Z is excited to meet your pets and support you in caring for them!
