Liz Grey, DVM

Dr. Grey was born in New York, but her family moved to San Diego when she was 12. While she was growing up, her family did a lot of rescue work with animals. Her father impressed upon her at an early age that once you commit to an animal, you are responsible for providing it with the best care possible. Dr. Grey knew at an early age that becoming a veterinarian would combine two of her favorite things – caring for animals and solving mysteries.

Dr. Grey did her undergraduate work at San Diego State University, receiving her Bachelor of Science in Zoology in 1982. She was the number one graduate in her department and part of the Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. She went on to the University of California at Davis, graduating in 1987 as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Soon after that, she came home to San Diego. She began working at Carmel Mountain Ranch Veterinary Hospital in 1990. Dr. Grey’s special interests in medicine include dermatology and opthomology. She loves caring for geriatric patients and helping them live longer, more comfortable lives. And of course, she loves seeing new puppies and kittens and is also dedicated to rescuing dogs from ‘Kill Shelters.’ Dr. Grey is on the board of directors for Shelter to Soldiers, which is an organization that works with veterans and rehabilitation rescue dogs.

Dr. Grey’s daughters are both living in Chicago. Sara is in her 3rd year of Rush Medical School and Becca travels the country working with an international consulting firm that specializes in mergers and acquisitions. Dr. Grey’s mom who is nearing 99 years old lives with her and her husband Bruce, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and the large extended Pooch Family at Dr. Grey’s Play and Stay Boarding Facility!
