Meet Our New Contributing Writers Ashley and Marlene!

The VetRxDirect Blog is excited to welcome two new writers, Ashley and Marlene. Both are passionate and experienced pet-owners who will be contributing their personal insights. So, without further ado, we’ll hand over the reins!

Hello Readers,

My name is Ashley Davidson. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and graduate of the Vet Tech Institute at Hickey College in St. Louis, Missouri. I consider myself a Pet Lifestyle Expert specializing in the art of canine-to-English translation. I have been a part of animal rescue for over ten years and have worked in the largest no-kill shelter in St. Louis. 

Ashley AI feel you live a better life with a smile on your face. My dogs give me a reason to smile every day. I am devoted to animal health, rescue and welfare and have a passion for ending breed discrimination. I strongly believe second-class animals make first class pets. With the help of my two rescue dogs, Kiki and Gumper, I will open your eyes to the beauty of animal adoption. My dogs have given me joy since they came into my home and my heart. It is my turn to return the favor.

All in all, with humor and love I will use my expertise to strengthen the bond between human and animal, and educate readers on how you too can make a difference. If one mind is changed, one animal helped, or one person can relate to my shared experiences with my pets, I will deem myself successful. Woof, enjoy!

Greetings Vet RX Blog Readers, 

MarleneMy name is Marlene, and I am part-time mature student working towards getting my getting my BA (Major- Art History) at the University of Toronto. Using my previous experience as a RN, I presently work as a freelance medical writer contributing content to many health-related websites in both Canada and the United States. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, traveling and volunteering at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramics in downtown Toronto.

My husband and I have been loving cat owners for close to 35 years. Misty, a 13 year old female grey tabby, is our current cat. We rescued her, along with her twin sister, from a local animal shelter when they were only 8 weeks old. Sadly, Smokey passed away from kidney failure almost 4 years ago. Since then, Misty has become even more affectionate and loving, giving us a great deal of pleasure.
