Deborah Jacobs received her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on Anatomy and Physiology from the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CA. She attended Veterinary Medical School at Western University College of Veterinary Medicine in Pomona, CA. She took a leave of absence after one year of Vet School in order to travel and pursue a Master Degree in Conservation and Biodiversity from the University of Exeter in Cornwall, UK. Upon return to the United States she decided that working with animals in the medical field is what she really wanted to do, so she went to work as a Veterinary Technician. After working for a couple of years she decided she wanted to take a more holistic approach then the Veterinary Medical field could afford her. She went to school at the Healing Arts Institute in Citrus Heights, CA to receive her Certificate in Animal Acupressure. This course of study included Jin Shin Jyutsu, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Animal Communication, Flower Essences and Reiki Healing. After working for A Chance for Bliss Animal Sanctuary in Penryn, CA, she returned to Los Angeles to start Tao of Dog.
Tao of Dog utilizes the accumulation of the skills she has acquired in her lifetime. It is a Holistic approach to animal healing providing in home allopathic and alternative care for your pet. Deborah currently volunteers at Gentle Barn in Santa Clarita http://www.gentlebarn.org/index.php
