(See the list on page three of this issue of the magazine.) Each one has the traits we all want in our family veterinarian: kind, compas- sionate, knowledgeable and a love of animals. Dr.Timothy Hodge, practice owner of Tampa’s Harbourside Animal Hospital and Cross Creek Animal Medical Center, loves to provide the well- ness that “strengthens the human-animal bond.” Having graduated from Mississippi State University, College of Veterinary Medicine with knowledge of standard western medicine, Dr. Hodge knew there had to be more than drugs and surgery to treat illnesses.“So I furthered my education to learnVeterinary Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine,Therapy Laser and Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy.” When a friend, who is a Pediatric Dentist, introduced Dr. Hodge to essential oils and how she uses them personal- ly and with her patients, he put two and two together.“Pets are a new generation of “kids” to pet parents, and I knew I had to learn about essential oils, as well.” The products he uses in both of his practices are pure, natural, safe and have proven to be extremely effective. Dr. Hodge has been hosting regular classes on the many uses of essential oils for pets.To find out when and where his next class is scheduled, call 813.229.3322 or 813.994.6929.
