Shannon Gregoire's brave new world

What do leadership, being an entrepreneur, and veterinary medicine have in common? 

Why, Shannon Gregoire, of course!

She is the perfect combination of all three. Originally from Massachusetts, Shannon has leveled up her veterinarian game time and time again over the years. In high school, she started off interning at the Central New England Equine Rescue, where she helped facilitate positive interactions with abused horses. 

Fast forward to 2018, and she successfully graduated (early, no less) with a Bachelor of Science, Pre-Veterinary Studies. Next up was Western for her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2022, and BOOM! 

We are now looking at the newest member of world-class veterinarians. 

But providing hands-on care to animals in need isn’t all that Shannon does. In addition to her formal training, Shannon is also an emerging thought leader, journalist, and pet care influencer. 

Today, we talk both media and medicine with the amazing Shannon Gregoire. 

Love Pets? Want to Be Your Own Boss? Entrepreneurship Offers a Solution

It’s the best of both worlds – loving animals and getting paid to work with them.

For Gregoire, this merger came naturally. She has an inborn flare for entrepreneurship. While many veterinarians choose to find work in large practices, she hopes to open her own one day soon.

Until then, Shannon has started a club for veterinarian students and recent graduates. The goal? To support each other in their professional pursuits. 

Rumor has it there will even be a business book club.

So, stay tuned bookworms!  

Being a Pet Care Influencer Extraordinaire 

Did you know?

The pet care industry is now worth approximately $103.6 billion…and growing. 

With so much money being poured into our furry, feathered, and four-legged friends, there is also a huge demand for pet-themed content. 

Millennial and GenZ vets know this well. 

In fact, there are more veterinarians on social media and working as TV personalities and content creators than ever before in history – Shannon Gregoire included. Her colorful Instagram account (@drshannondvm) boasts thousands followers!  Just recently she was asked to be the brand ambassador for 21Scrubs, a woman ran line of fashionable scrub wear.

And in addition to her work as Managing Editor for Pet Candy Magazine, Shannon also isn’t shy about getting on the air. She is the host of a podcast called Simply Pets and Vet Candy IRL. Each episode is filled with the best leaders in the veterinary field who are making huge impacts with their careers. 

With a unique blend of digital marketing and veterinary medicine experience, Dr. Shannon Gregoire is one face we are certain to be seeing more of in the future!
