Hi everyone! I'm Dr. Katie Jackson. I'm a small animal general practice veterinarian here in Holly Springs, and today I'm going to tell you what it's really like to be an animal doctor. Just a little background. I actually grew up not too far from here in Chapel Hill and went to NC State for both college and vet school. I can vividly remember my 8th grade year, so believe me when I say I was right where you are now, wondering what I might be when I grew up. And believe it or not, the preparation starts now!
