After graduating from Kansas State University, Dr. Dowling happily returned to her home state of Florida to practice veterinary medicine. Her professional interests include preventative medicine, internal medicine, surgery and the human-animal bond. She also volunteers with the Pinellas County Animal Services once a week to help spay and neuter homeless pets! Dr. Dowling is very excited to be a part of animal care clinic of Largo. She has a jack-russell terrier named Daisy, who you may have noticed as the STAR of the Animal Care Clinic of Largo website home page. She also has two caiques named Monty and Apple. She enjoys hiking, cooking, walking on the beach, and watching movies while snuggled on the couch with the whole family, including the four-legged and feathered members of course!
