About me: Pet health and my blog

Pet healthHello, hope all is well. My name is Dr. Dwight Alleyne and I have been practicing Veterinary Medicine for the last 11 years in Georgia. So I am very experienced when it comes to pet health care.  I am originally from New York but moved to Georgia shortly after graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. I work exclusively with cats and dogs, so you can consider me to be your typical dog and cat vet. But I am looking to branch out to work with exotics such as rabbit and ferrets to expand my pet health care experience.  I have a strong interest in surgery and have taken many continuing education classes to increase my knowledge about pet health.

So why start a blog? Once people find out what I do for a living, I often get pet health questions. These questions range from simple questions to more complicated issues. Even though I prefer not to think about my job outside of work, I found that I enjoy sharing my knowledge of pet health care with others. I love sharing information about dog health, cat health, or any other healthcare information regarding pets.  People truly appreciate the information that I provide them. So I figured I might as well create blog to share this information. Please bear with me as this blog is currently under construction. There will likely be many changes as I build my experience as a pet health blogger. My goal for this blog is to become a place where almost all pet health questions can be answered.  Some future additions may include a bulletin board where people can post their missing pets, an emergency veterinary clinic finder for your area to facilitate decisions regarding emergency pet care, and many more. Please come back and visit again. Feel free to leave me suggestions.

Thank You

Dr. Dwight Alleyne

  1. Dr Alleyne,

    Congratulations on your website and blog! I’m enjoying reading every article and looking forward to more! Thank you for this valuable information

  4. Dr. Alleyne, It is so kind of you to offer us your opinions and help. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. As a multi-cat “provider” (more like their hired help, my wages are warm fuzzies and love) I often need ideas and pointers. I try to save as many strays as I can but they come with so many health and behaviorial problems. Your info on the Seresto collars is of particular interest to me. It would be a big investment, to provide the collars for all my many cats, but I will do anything to insure their comfort and the health benefits of being flea free. I appreciate your instructive input on the collars. It will help me to make the decision. I’m going to be your follower too. Thanks again for being available to help us.

  5. I am so glad I “ran into” your blog! I am always looking for sound advice from a Veterinarian since I help rescue cats, kittens, and sometimes dogs too! I am going to bookmark your blog as my “go to’ site for information for future! Thanks again!

  6. Hi
    I adopted a 3 year old female bull terrier almost 3 years ago. Are you familiar with their breed & some of their health issues?
    Pippa is very friendly with all humans but is still learning to socialize with other dogs which can be an issue coming inside a vets office.
    I live in canton ga & would make an appointment with you to take over her general health needs.
    Thanks

    • Hello Alison
      I seen a fair share of bull terriers just like Pippa who are friendly with human but don’t get along with other dogs at all. The most common issue I see with this breed are skin allergies. Alot of itchy skin, and skin infections are what I mainly deal with the bull terriers. Usually when we have dogs that are not to friendly with other dogs come into a vet clinic we make sure that they can go right into a room therefore avoiding any conflict.
