Meet the veterinarians
About Dr. Isabella Sullivan
I was born in Atlanta, but my family moved to Orlando shortly after I was born. We stayed for 13 years before moving back to Metro Atlanta in 2010. I loved growing up near the coast but I’m happy to be back in Georgia where much of my extended family resides.
I grew up with an array of pets and my dad brought home many strays that ultimately turned into foster fails. When I was in college, the vet I shadowed performed a life-saving surgery on my family dog that improved her quality of life and gave us more time with her. Her dedication, not only to my dog but to every patient, solidified my decision to pursue a veterinary career.
I received my undergraduate degrees in German and biology at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and my veterinary degree from Tufts University in North Grafton, Massachusetts.
One of the best parts about being a vet is getting to play a pivotal role in strengthening the human-animal bond. While I always prioritize the health and well-being of my patients, my job is also to help pet parents make the best decisions for their whole family.
I recently had to say goodbye to my sweet pup, Pepper, after a short fight with aggressive cancer. Ironically, Pepper was always terrified and anxious when going to the vet. I was so grateful to have the support of my coworkers who helped to make her euthanasia a peaceful experience. Being part of that support system is genuinely one of the most rewarding aspects of the job.
I find it incredibly rewarding to provide families with the support and guidance they need to feel confident in the decisions they make for their pets. I strive to help them find comfort in their decisions and give them peace of mind that they are doing what's best for their pet and family.
When I am not practicing veterinary medicine, I love singing/songwriting, watching new shows and movies, and traveling. More than anything, I love spending time with family, friends, and my crazy pup Luna.
About Dr. Sydney Brehm
I grew up in rural north Georgia on a 14-acre family farm where we raised cows, chickens, hogs, goats, and even peacocks. For a child who loved animals, it was paradise! My family is a funny mix of teachers and nurses, so I feel as though I was born with a medical calling and a desire to help people. Family dinners where my mom and my aunt would regale us with the latest graphic medical dramas they had encountered, while grossing out my cousins, were fascinating to me. It became obvious that veterinary medicine was my calling from a very young age.
After graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, I was a general practitioner in a busy companion animal clinic. My older patients really stole my heart. Give me a 12 year old chocolate lab quietly thumping her tail on the floor while she rolls over for belly rubs, or a 15 year old tabby cat who just wants to hang out in your lap and purr most of the day, and I melt. After we lost our 13-year-old dobie to a chronic disease in 2018, my passion for helping older pets was really cemented. Even as a veterinarian, what we went through trying to manage her was, at times, scary and overwhelming. Our sweet girl was able to have a peaceful passing at home and I feel it is truly my purpose to provide the type of serenity that we got to experience.

About Dr. Jenni Flowers
I am originally from Florida, but I moved to metro Atlanta as a child and consider this beautiful melting pot to be my home. Since I was a kid, I told anyone and everyone that one day I would be a veterinarian, and here I am today.
I attended Kennesaw State University in Georgia for my undergraduate degree, and after graduating, I spent five years working as a veterinary assistant. I learned so much about veterinary medicine during that time, and it solidified my desire to become a veterinarian. I received my veterinary degree from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and have spent my career working as a general practitioner.
I value the many relationships I’ve built with clients throughout the years and the wide variety of ways I get to help animals each day. I enjoy everything from puppy care, to geriatric medicine, to general medicine. I have special interests in cytology, radiology, and dermatological conditions—icky skin stuff is fascinating!
I am familiar with the experience of losing a pet and have said goodbye to several of my own over the years. Unfortunately, my pets didn’t pass in the comfort of their home, and this weighed heavily on my decision to transition into end-of-life care. I currently have a 15-year- old large breed dog, and when I think about how I want him to pass, I picture him peacefully at home in my arms.
I view humane, at-home euthanasia as the greatest last gift you can give a beloved animal companion, surrounded in comfort with the ones they love most, and I hope to aid other families in providing a peaceful passing for their pet, much like I hope to have with my old man, Champ.

About Dr. Victoria Gifford
I was born in Frankfurt, Germany, but my parents were in the military, so I grew up in multiple places. We moved to Augusta, Georgia, and then lived in Hollywood and Winter Haven, Florida before settling again in Augusta.
I always found myself playing with my friends' pets, and my curiosity about animals grew after my grandparents got me a subscription to "Zoobooks". I’d never met a female vet at the time, let alone one of my complexion. As I became older, I knew I wanted to work in the veterinary field, but my undergraduate years made me wonder whether I could successfully become a veterinarian. However, when I passed my organic chemistry class with flying colors, I knew I would be able to overcome anything.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology from Fort Valley State University in 2007 and completed my doctorate in veterinary medicine from Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015.
I most enjoy performing surgery, but successfully solving the puzzle of an internal medicine case can be exhilarating. I have worked in animal shelters, general practice, and emergency hospitals, and I've even been on the TV show “Critter Fixers”.
I lost my first pet, KoKoNut, in 2020. She was my ride-or-die through vet school and was by my side as I had two children and formed a happy, healthy family. When I had to let her go across the rainbow bridge, it was very emotional, but I was glad that I was able to alleviate her suffering.
My hobbies include supporting my kids, especially from the sidelines of the basketball court and football field. I also enjoy painting, drawing, and occasionally binge-watching a great show.
About Dr. Katie Bowman
I grew up in Atlanta, in the Buckhead area. I always knew I wanted to be a vet and have no memory of wanting to do anything else. Animals and I just seem to gravitate to each other.
My passion and purpose led me to the University of Georgia for undergraduate and veterinary school. Since becoming a veterinarian, I’ve spent my time in general medicine in many different types of hospitals and clinics. No matter where I am, I love being able to help pets and their families and support their special bond.
Over the past few years, I’ve lost several personal pets. I consider them and myself fortunate that I could give them the gift of in-home euthanasia and a peaceful, dignified goodbye.
In general practice, end-of-life care can sometimes feel like an afterthought. The actual experience doesn’t get much consideration and can leave pet parents lacking peace and closure after their pet’s passing. I enjoy helping the final stages of an animal's life be as peaceful and easy as possible for everyone involved. My support, empathy, and assistance in those precious final moments are gifts I can give to the pet and the pet’s family.
