Author: Mark dos Anjos, DVM

Dr. Mark is a seasoned mixed animal practitioner with over 40 years of experience working across Africa, Europe, the US, and South America. 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. Since moving to a rural region in Brazil, Dr. Mark has been able to work with a variety of wildlife, which he finds immensely rewarding. Notably, his experience with Niki, the Capuchin monkey he rescued, has been one of his most challenging and fulfilling endeavors as a vet.
