Brittany Stribling

With over 18 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Brit Stribling has dedicated her career to keeping tails wagging, eyes shining, and hearts (both human and animal) full. From emergency medicine to ophthalmology, surgery, and general practice, she’s seen it all—sometimes at 2 a.m. with a coffee in one hand and a stethoscope in the other. Her passion for rescue work has led to life-saving efforts for over 100,000 cats, which means she’s probably been covered in more fur than the average lint roller can handle.

Currently, Brit resides in Texas, remotely managing her veterinary hospital with the same efficiency as a well-trained Border Collie. Though she’s miles away, the hospital continues to run smoothly under her watchful eye (no zoomies allowed in the clinic, unless you’re a happy patient). While she misses Utah dearly, she makes a monthly pilgrimage back to spend time with her incredible staff—who definitely have a countdown clock for her arrival. Whether they’re tracking the days until her bad jokes, incredible singing, and even more incredible dance moves, or just waiting for the moment they can hand her a stethoscope and put her to work, it warms her heart. Being able to jump back into patient care, cuddle and love on her furry (and sometimes feathery) patients, and keep her nursing skills sharp makes every trip back to Utah completely worth it.

When not working remotely or experiencing FOMO about missing the action at the hospital, Brit is busy wrangling her farm full of feathered and furry friends—including chickens, two turkeys, five dogs, five cats, three tortoises, and a snake. Oh, and let’s not forget her three children, who keep her just as busy as the animals (but with slightly fewer feathers). If she’s not elbow-deep in farm life, you’ll probably find her nose in a book or unwinding with an episode of Bluey—because sometimes, you just need a little wholesome chaos to end the day.
