Ashley Emanuele, Owner/Chief Medical Officer, Oak City Aquatics Mobile Veterinary Service

Veterinary medicine is an incredibly wide field — if it crawls, flies, hops or even swims, it probably has a specialized veterinarian dedicated to its care. Dr. Ashley Emanuele is North Carolina’s first Certified Aquatic Veterinarian, and has been working with aquatic animals in some capacity for almost her whole life. Her practice, Oak City Aquatics, is the first aquatics-exclusive mobile practice in the state. Join Dr. Emanuele as she discusses her path to become an aquatic veterinarian, a day in the life (on the road and in the water!) and introduces a few of her favorite patients.
