Meet one of our amazing mentors, Dr. Bernadine D. Cruz, DVM! With a distinguished career spanning decades, she continues to inspire and guide aspiring veterinarians with her wealth of knowledge and unwavering dedication to the welfare of animals.

Dr. Cruz, an associate veterinarian at Paw Sweet Paw-Spectrum in Irvine, Calif., boasts over 30 years of experience in companion animal medicine. She earned her doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Cruz is a national pet care speaker with vast media experience, including roles as a veterinary consultant for TV programs, host of a five-year pet show on the Orange County News Channel, and appearances on networks like A&E and Discovery Channel.

From 2008 to 2020, she hosted 'The Pet Doctor' radio show on www.PetLifeRadio.com and is a certified member of the Association of American Veterinary Journalists.

Dr. Cruz played a vital role in developing the American Red Cross and Humane Society of the United States-endorsed “First Aid for Pets — Dogs & Cats” course.

Her cats, Zimzala and Quidi Vidi, are not that impressed with her credentials — they just call her ‘Meow-om’.

Say hello to Dr. Caryn Finegan, your approachable veterinary mentor. With a wealth of real-world experience, Dr. Finegan is here to provide you with practical advice and a listening ear. No fuss, just genuine insights to support you on your veterinary journey.

Dr. Caryn Finegan graduated from the University Of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. She started her veterinary career in a very busy four-doctor, small animal hospital in New Jersey. In 1995, she moved to Pennsylvania to pursue small animal medicine and surgery at several veterinary practices and participated in the start-up of one.

From 2000-2004, Dr. Finegan was employed by Pfizer Animal Health, Companion Animal Division of Technical Services and Pharmacovigilance. As an independent consultant, she provided callers (veterinarians and pet owners) with expert support regarding the safe and appropriate use of Pfizer's small animal health products. She also collected, analyzed, and reported possible product issues to the appropriate government agencies. At the same time, she continued working in private practice and started her family. She currently works part-time in Bucks County, PA, where her primary focus is small animal wellness, preventative medicine, and client education.

Over the years, Dr. Finegan has learned the importance of balancing work and family life, laughter and gratitude, and taking a moment for one’s self. She still loves veterinary medicine and helping people help their pets and looks forward to helping you help them as well.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, biking, taking long walks with her hubby and Happy dog, reading, and researching human health and wellness, especially nutrition and alternative therapies.

Meet Ben Levitan, Chirp co-founder and Dr. Diane’s son! Ben has an update on the Chirp app for you. Enjoy! 🐤 ❤️

Did you know? January is National Mentoring Month! If you’re interested in sharing your knowledge with early career veterinarians, get in touch with us to become the next Chirp Vet Mentor!

It may seem like you don’t have time for one more club or professional organization, but these groups can play an enormous role in your professional development. For example, the connections we’ve made through VetPartners have helped us navigate the brand new (to us) world of app development! So excited to see wonderful friends and colleagues at @thevbma and VetPartners in Orlando!

Why Chirp? 🐤 Because every veterinarian knows what it’s like to be a beginner, to wish there was someone you could call, someone to listen to your treatment plan, someone to validate your thought process, someone to tell you you’re doing fine…and it’s going to be OK. Because every early career veterinarian needs someone who can provide instant help, personal connection, judgment-free feedback, and experience-based advice—because they’ve been there, too. Chirp fills a role that every new veterinarian naturally seeks—and every experienced veterinarian wishes they’d had when they were just starting out. So, why Chirp? Because as veterinarians, we’re better together. Sign up for our pilot program while we refine our app and prepare for launch. You won’t regret it! (Link in bio.)

At Chirp, we’re striving to create a mentorship app that provides an exceptional user experience and helps early career vets build confidence and thrive in their new roles. Unfortunately, such high standards mean lots of challenges—especially in the final development phase. While we hate waiting as much as—if not more than—anybody, we believe the end product and its positive impact on vet med will be worth the minor delay. Check out our update from Chirp Founder Dr. Diane Levitan @dianemlevitan ⬆️. While our app launch may be postponed, you can still access on-demand mentorship by signing up for our pilot program (link in bio). 👏 🐤
