“I’ve always believed that spending time with your pet is just as important as treating them. Health isn’t just clinical, it’s emotional too.”

And honestly, his patients seem to agree.

“One of the funniest things I’ve seen? A dog walking into the OPD, immediately flipping onto his back like—‘I’m ready. Belly rub first, consultation later.’”

But not every case is lighthearted.

“Oscar was different. A Labrador with chronic kidney disease. He went through so much but never once stopped being gentle, cooperative, and full of spirit. That case stayed with me. It taught me patience… and perspective.”

Working in emergency and critical care means witnessing both fragility and resilience up close. And for Dr. Karan, that’s exactly what keeps him going.

“Being able to treat and heal so many dogs and cats. That’s the best part. Every recovery feels personal.”

Looking ahead, he’s set on diving deeper into internal medicine and critical care, sharpening his skills where they matter most, in life-saving moments.

His favourite quote that keeps him going?

“No one will believe in you unless you do.”

Simple. Grounded. And very much how he shows up every day for himself, and for every patient that walks through those doors.
