“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Meet Dr. Edwards…
…and share in her many adventures and interests.
Born in Anchorage, Alaska and raised in the mountains of Colorado, Dr. Pamela Edwards grew up around both backyard wildlife and a menagerie of rescue animals. Even at an early age, this experience motivated her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine to enable her to care for the animals both inside her home as well as those outside.
Dr. Edwards received her doctorate from Colorado State University in 2006, and has pursued a variety of professional interests since. Originally starting her veterinary career caring for injured wildlife, Dr. Edwards moved onward to also work in private practice with companion dogs, cats, and exotic animals for the human-animal bond experience. After a very busy and tale-worthy 5 year stay in New York City, she decided to settle down in Seattle, WA while continuing to travel with the intent of utilizing her experience and knowledge to provide care where needed. During the course of her career, she has had the diverse experience as a wildlife rehabilitator and consultant, certified captive restraint bearer, house call veterinarian, shelter and rescue veterinarian, emergency veterinarian, animal rights spokesperson, “veterinarian” on television, periodical content editor, newspaper column contributor, and opinionated animal advocate under all circumstances.
Dr. Edwards' professional interests include geriatric medicine, feline internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, animal behavior, exotic animal medicine, and wildlife conservation medicine. She is also experienced in hospice care for terminally ill pets and values her ability to assist both humans and animals alike in these difficult cases.
Her belief and motivation in veterinary medicine is the continual pursuit of knowledge and education to better serve the animals in her care. She is currently working towards certification in veterinary acupuncture through the Chi Institute and was awarded her Masters in Conservation Medicine from the University of Edinburgh Royal Dick College of Veterinary Medicine in November of 2020.
When not working, Dr. Edwards enjoys traveling, camping, music, writing, photography, martial arts, and a good horror movie. She shares her home with her partner Michael and their harmonious colony of treasured rescue animals.
