Touching the untouchables: The first reactive referral center for pets with behavioral challenges

Episode 170,   Jan 25, 2023, 10:00 PM

Dr. Tracy Paukette founded the first clinic dedicated to reactive pets and their families. She earned her doctorate at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998.

Since 2018 her focus has been on animal behavior and stress-free handling in the veterinary environment.

The Reactive Referral Center was eventually created to provide veterinary care for reactive patients. Many of these patients had previously been fired from other veterinary clinics or unable to seek veterinary care due to their reactivity.

In addition to seeing patients, Dr. Paukette enjoys speaking events and working with her team to provide education and hands on training sessions within individual clinics.
