Dr. Sarah Mitchell, DVM

Dr. Sarah Mitchell is a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and the Chief Veterinary Officer at PawPulse. With over 15 years of clinical experience, she has dedicated her career to helping pet owners understand the science behind proper nutrition and food safety for their beloved companions.

After graduating with honors from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Mitchell completed a rigorous 3-year residency in veterinary nutrition at UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. She subsequently achieved board certification from the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN), joining an elite group of fewer than 100 board-certified veterinary nutritionists in North America.

Throughout her career, Dr. Mitchell has treated over 10,000 patients with nutrition-related conditions, from simple dietary consultations to complex cases involving food allergies, obesity management, and therapeutic diets for chronic diseases. Her passion for education led her to author over 500 peer-reviewed articles and educational content pieces.

At PawPulse, Dr. Mitchell leads our veterinary editorial team, ensuring every piece of content meets the highest standards of medical accuracy. She personally reviews all "Can Dogs/Cats Eat" guides, applying her expertise to provide pet owners with evidence-based, life-saving information.

"My mission is simple: to bridge the gap between veterinary science and pet owners. Every day, dogs suffer from preventable food poisoning because their owners didn't have access to accurate information. That's why I joined PawPulse—to make veterinary knowledge accessible to everyone."
