Dr. Dodd completed her veterinary degree at Massey University in New Zealand. During the course of her studies, she developed a passion for nutrition and jumped straight into a nutrition internship and MSc immediately post grad. Her internship eventually transitioned into a residency, just as the foundations built in her MSc formed the basis for continuing PhD research. Currently, Dr. Dodd is preparing to undertake the board-certifying examination for the European College of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition and is scheduled to defend her PhD thesis early in the new year.

Over the past decade, Jason has established an international reputation for his leadership in veterinary communications, primary-care veterinary education and understanding the human-animal bond. He has published over 90 peer-reviewed journal articles, including co-authorship of the 2021 AAHA Nutrition and Weight Management Guidelines for Dogs and Cats. Jason currently holds the VCA Canada Chair in Relationship-Centred Veterinary Medicine (2021-2026), at the Ontario Veterinary College, dedicated to research and education in communication and relationship-building to improve the outcomes of veterinary care.
