He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. His interests include dermatology, dog training, canine and feline behavior, and exotic animal medicine. Dr. Mark lives on a small ranch in Brazil, where he cares for his horses, sheep, poultry, parrots, and a rescue Capuchin monkey named Niki.
