“Honestly, one of the funniest things? One pet that came in not eating at home… and then immediately start eating in the clinic like it’s a buffet,” she recalls when asked about the funniest experience she has had as a vet.

But behind the humour, there are moments that stick.

“Kiki was one of those cases I’ll never forget. She was a tiny kitten rescued off the street, fighting parvo and then FIP. Most wouldn’t have made it. But she did. And somewhere along the way, she stopped being just a case… she became mine.”

Today, Kiki shares her home with two other rescue kittens: Wasabi and Mouse. A full house for Dr. Sana and, of course, a full-heart situation.

For Dr. Sana, being a vet isn’t just medicine; it’s emotional labour, patience, and sometimes just… showing up.

“Being a voice for the voiceless, that’s my favourite part. Always has been.”

And if there’s one thing she wishes more pet parents understood?

“Your energy matters more than you think. If you walk into a clinic anxious, your pet feels it instantly. Sometimes the best thing you can do for them… is just breathe.”

Up next? She’s diving deeper into the mind of animals with a Master’s in Clinical Animal Behaviour. Because understanding why they do what they do is just as important as treating them.

Her personal mantra?

“Just keep swimming.” — Dory
