Dr. Huang
was born and raised in Taiwan. In the older days, there were no animal shelters there. She has seen many stray animals suffer from starvation and illnesses and vowed to help them as much as she could. Frustrated with the lack of good
veterinary care,
she decided to come to the US to study
veterinary medicine.
She did her pre-vet in Illinois State University and then attended University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for vet school. She received her DVM degree in 1997 and then came over to CA to do her internship. She then went back to Taiwan and founded an animal protection group called Caring for Stray Animal Society in 1999. Her group helped the first animal shelter in Taiwan establish and run their adoption and health care program.
After having practiced traditional western medicine for a while and seeing the side effects of certain treatments, Dr. Huang decided to incorporate
alternative holistic treatment
to help her patients better. She received her CVA degree (
certified veterinary acupuncturist
) from Chi Institute in 2009. She offers
acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine treatments.
Dr. Huang owned and operated Home Care Vet, a house call practice from 2012 to 2018. She has helped many pets who are unable to go to hospital for medical care.
Dr. Huang is excited to be practicing at Glendora Pet Care Center!
