Andy Collins graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. His veterinary medical interests include surgery, general health and wellness, and abscesses. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, watching movies, and relaxing. He has a golden retriever named Dug and a Teddy Bear (shih tzu/bichon mix) named Rosy. He enjoys working with both people and animals and feels that becoming a veterinarian is an excellent fit for his skills and interests. Being a veterinarian is not just a job, but a natural continuation of his life by turning his life’s interest into a profession [citation].
