Aziza Glass, D.V.M. ’15, is a veterinarian of many talents. Weaving eastern and western veterinary medicine approaches in her private practice, while also building a vibrant brand and media presence, has allowed Glass to craft a unique and rewarding career niche for herself.

“The best part of this profession is that teachable moment with people who are receptive to learning about how to take better care of their pet,” says Glass. “There’s a trust that’s made between me and the pet parent — and it all benefits that pet.”

Glass grew up watching nature documentaries and animal shows but didn’t plan on becoming a veterinarian until she was in college. It was there, as an undergraduate studying agriculture and animal science at Prairie View A&M University in Texas, that she was inspired by older classmates who were applying to veterinary colleges to do the same.
