Dr. Dodd completed her veterinary degree at Massey University in New Zealand.

Her internship eventually transitioned into a residency, just as the foundations built in her MSc formed the basis for continuing PhD research.

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.
