Other Interests

Dr. Ziemski’s special interests include working with the canine athlete as she trains and competes with her own dogs in agility, rally, obedience, hunt tests and barn hunt. The skills and special techniques she has learned have been very useful for treating sudden injuries as well as keeping the aging athlete comfortable and able to continue to compete. She has also found these techniques useful in treating the geriatric canine and feline patient.

Dr. Ziemski currently resides in Maryland with her Boykin Spaniel Nib and Golden Retriever Buc.
