Dr. Shannon Snook

Emergency Veterinarian

Overview:

"I did not know I wanted to become a vet until I attended UC Davis for undergrad as I was also contemplating human medicine and marine biology at the time. I chose to become a vet because I could help both people and animals. I have always found medicine fascinating and I have always loved all animals (from horses to snakes to dolphins) and everything else in between, so becoming a veterinarian made sense. I also wanted a profession that is diverse and would always challenge me to learn new things."

Clinical Interests:

"I love emergency medicine and soft tissue surgery. Eventually, I want to branch out and work with wildlife and exotic animals".

Credentials:

Career:

Started at Standiford Veterinary Center in 2021. I completed a small animal rotating internship at VCA Loomis Basin before joining Standiford.

Community Involvement/Volunteer Work:

I volunteer at FieldHaven Feline Center.

Miscellaneous:

In my spare time I love traveling, mountain biking, snowboarding, and hiking. Currently, I am training for a marathon and triathlon this year and plan to visit East Africa over the summer.
