About the Author
Dr. Torres attended Colorado State University (CSU) for her undergraduate and veterinary education. After she earned her DVM degree in 2001, she went into small animal private practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She joined community practice at CSU’s James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital in 2008, and earned her feline and canine DABVP certification in 2011. As a general practitioner, she has observed the power of preventive medicine. Seeing how preventing disease can be so much easier for a pet than treatment led her to explore the effects of obesity on companion animals and nutrition’s role in obesity management. Her enthusiasm for nutrition in multiple areas inspired her to seek additional training in the field of nutrition at CSU, and she completed a residency in nutrition and became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Nutrition) in 2021. Her furry family consists of 2 cats, a yorkiepoo, and a French bulldog.. She enjoys spending time with her husband and their 2 boys, taking every opportunity to participate in the wonderful outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer.
