Liz Dalzell

Dr. Dalzell is a Florida native who lives in Brooksville with her husband, Kelly, son Liam, daughter Kate, and dog, Paisley. Dr. Dalzell graduated in 2014 from St. George’s University and did her clinical year at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. She wanted to be a veterinarian as a young girl but changed her mind after James Herriot was bitten by a cat in an episode of All Creatures Great and Small. After graduating from Eckerd College and trying multiple careers, she adopted an Australian Shepherd to try her hand at agility. She loved her dog and had a passion for health and wellness so veterinary work seemed like the logical next step. She sought out a job as a veterinary technician at Barsch Animal Clinic in Tampa. A few years later her mentor, Dr. Barsch, told her it was time to apply to veterinary school. So she did. After graduation, she worked in Tallahassee as an emergency veterinarian where she met her now-husband, Kelly, who was in the Army. They eventually moved to Georgia and later, North Dakota, and then to Delaware. When Kelly retired in late 2021, they decided to move back to Florida to be close to family.
