Geriatrics and End of Life Care
Mary Gardner DVM
When it comes to the weak and wobbly dogs or skinny old cats, Dr. Mary Gardner falls in love instantly! But her professional career didn’t always revolve around animals. Dr. Gardner is a "second career" veterinarian who spent 10 years in enterprise-wide software design, implementation and marketing. However, a twist of fate changed her path and in 2008, Dr. Gardner graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After a few years in general practice, she found her niche in helping geriatric and terminally ill pets and their owners. In 2010, she joined her classmate Dr. Dani McVety with Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, which now employs over 400 veterinarians across the United States exclusively offering in home end of life care.
Dr. Gardner not only is a practicing veterinarian focusing on geriatric pet care, hospice and euthanasia but she is also the company’s CEO. Dr. Gardner’s professional goals are to increase awareness and medical care for the geriatric veterinary patient and the struggles that the families face, as well as educating the entire veterinary staff on the scientific and soft skills surrounding end of life care. She speaks on veterinary hospice, geriatric medicine, assessing quality of life and euthanasia.
