Ep. 91: Bread Crumbs from the Universe: Integrative House Call Vet Practice in San Diego; Meet Dr. Wendy Lipman

Dr. Wendy is an Integrative housecall veterinarian in San Diego, California. She is a 1994 UC Davis grad (yes, she graduated in the 1900's) and received her acupuncture certification from Chi University in 2018. She started her housecall practice, Four Paws Mobile Veterinary Acupuncture, in 2019 as a side gig to a permanent relief job at a brick-and-mortar general practice. She never dreamed this would, or could, become her career path. The practice quickly grew, and in March 2025, she quit her toxic relief job to focus on full-time house calls. It has been an amazing evolution in her veterinary career, and she is grateful every day to be where she has landed.
