Dr. Maria Iliopoulou, Bio

About Dr. Maria:

Animals were always part of her family and she inherited the love for animals from her dad (a lawyer in Greece) and her grandmother. Her first dog and her best friend, a Belgian Shepherd named Blake, influenced her decision to become a veterinarian when she was 5 years old. Her passion to heal and rescue animals started around the same age as she would bring home all types of animals in need from dogs and cats to wildlife. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree in 2007 from the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Michigan State University (MSU). In 2009, she earned a Master’s of Science degree at MSU CVM researching Quality of life and End of Life Care in dogs. In 2014, she received her PhD in Community Outreach, Animal Welfare and Human-Animal Bond at MSU researching education about Dog Care and Welfare with the goal of preventing dog abuse, neglect and abandonment. She presented at the AVMA conferences regarding topics of Human-Animal Bond and Dog Behavior and Quality of Life (Welfare). Her veterinary work is focused on promoting animal welfare, the human-animal bond and compassionate veterinary care in the United States and globally. She is an experienced Small Animal Integrative Veterinarian and she is currently pursuing her Chi Institute Certification in Veterinary Acupuncture and Food Therapy. Since 2007 Dr. Maria worked in many veterinary clinics in Michigan as a relief or part time Veterinarian: General Practice, Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, Holistic Medicine, End of life Care and Hospice, Shelter Medicine, Vaccine Clinics, and Spay/ Neuter clinics. Thus, she has broad experience in the field of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Maria has a passion to provide the best care for all animals and for the last 30 years, has been actively involved and advocated and served in local animal rescue groups, animal control agencies and shelters in Greece and the United States. She is a member of the AVMA, AVMLA, AHVMA, and American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians and supports fear free practices. Dr. Maria moved in the Unites States (from Greece) 18 years ago and lives in Okemos with her fiancé, Curt and their beloved fur babies and canaries and doves.
