Rachel Thompson

Rachel Thompson is a veterinary technician and former shelter manager who brings 15 years of hands-on animal care experience to her writing. Her three-dog household includes a senior rescue Pit Bull with arthritis, a young Border Collie mix with endless energy, and a toy poodle with a Napoleon complex—giving her daily experience with different life stages, sizes, and needs. Rachel specializes in senior dog care, health monitoring, medication administration, and helping owners recognize when something needs veterinary attention versus when it can be managed at home. Her writing balances professional medical knowledge with the empathy of someone who understands the emotional and financial challenges of pet ownership.
