I’m TB Thompson DVM. I graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. I currently practice in Arizona. I’ve been a licensed, practicing small animal veterinarian for over 20 years.
As a lifelong animal lover and science nerd, I love helping people with their pets. I started YourVetFriend.com to answer all the little questions that come up for pet owners every day. I know you’re out there searching for answers to your pet health questions, and I want to provide a trustworthy source of information for you!

I write all the articles on this site. They’re based on scientific data as viewed through the lens of my professional experiences. You can feel confident the information is accurate and not just copied from non-authoritative internet sources.
I also own and operate the website Natural Pets HQ which provides similar pet health education content.
