St. Puppy’s Day is the event that celebrates you and what you do. This year we have an excellent lineup of pet care community experts, including:
Dr. Monica Bentley is a highly experienced veterinarian with over 20 years in the field, specializing in surgery, internal medicine, and theriogenology. A graduate of Oklahoma State University, she holds both a Bachelor of Animal Science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
Now based in southwest Missouri, Dr. Bentley is passionate about serving her community and promoting proactive pet care. At this year’s St. Puppy’s Day, she’ll be joining Dr. Oxford for a thoughtful panel discussion on Prevention vs. Treatment—a conversation exploring how early veterinary care and preventive strategies can reduce long-term health challenges and costs for pet owners.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Bentley enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, cheering them on at basketball, baseball, and softball games.
Deb Turcott is the Owner and Principal of ORIANA Solutions, a national strategy consulting firm that blends visionary thinking with practical execution to help businesses grow and adapt through change.
In the latter half of her career, Deb has brought her expertise to the pet and veterinary industries, working with organizations such as the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, PetSmart Charities, and many others across the sector.
Raised on a small farm in New Hampshire, Deb now lives on a ranch in north-central Florida with her husband. Their lively home is shared with two Mini Dachshunds (Eleanor and Franklin), a Great Pyrenees named Dunkin, two horses, and twelve donkeys.
