The Pet Effect! How pets impact the health and wellbeing of their owners

Come join CCV for our Third Wednesday Bring Your Own Lunch with this month's presenter John Faught, DVM and co-founder of Firehouse Animal Health Centers. Dr Faught will discuss how pets impact the health and wellbeing of their owners. There's even a rumor that one of Dr. Faught's patients Gandalf the Golden might stop by!

Here's more about Dr. Faught and his philisophy:

Dr Faught steers pet owners toward the best path for their families and pets using science-based medicine, empathetic communication, and practical solutions. As CMO, he directs the hospital toward best practices in health care, impeccable client service, and philanthropy.

Clients see him as a trusted friend. They appreciate his medical guidance, warmth, and sense of humor. Dr Faught looks for this same spirit in his team. Firehouse veterinarians are skilled doctors who are also willing to do “100 Little Things”. These are the extra moments of connection, support, and kindness that remind clients they’re at the right place for their pet.

Dr Faught knows we all play a role in making our communities healthy, safe, and happy. That’s why Firehouse donates medical services, funds, time, and ideas to local animal support organizations.

He earned a Biomedical Science degree at Texas A&M. He then completed his DVM at Texas A&M’s esteemed College of Veterinary Medicine. On weekends, Dr Faught enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and good friends in and around Austin.
