We are so fortunate to be able to say,

“Back this Year! HONORARY SURFDOG LIFEGUARD DR MELINE JOARIS”

For the Annual World Dog Surfing Championships on August 2nd is Honorary Surfdog Lifeguard Dr. Meline Joaris, @sassquatch_vet

Dr. Joaris will be on standby on the beach to make sure that all of our surf dogs are in great shape after a bit surfing competition.

“I’ll be keeping an eye out for our furry friends’ safety while they catch some epic waves in Pacifica. I rescue older dogs, generally from Muttville in SF but will be leaving my old, grumpy chihuahua, Phil, at home for the event – he’s not a fan of other dogs.

A few years ago, I joined Modern Animal, a veterinary company based out of LA with 5 clinics in the Bay Area with 24/7 Telemedicine support where I now provide remote veterinary virtual care to our patients. The remote work has allowed me to travel and surf more (check out my travels and veterinary work on a recent podcast episode I was invited to on Spotify)! I’m very excited to be able to attend this event again and look forward to seeing all the pups shredding!”

Say Hello to Doctor Meline!
