Dr. Megan
Begay has been with 1st Pet as a Veterinarian since July 2009. She
graduated from CSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 then did a rotating
internship for a year at a small animal specialty practice in Tampa, FL.
Prior to Veterinary school, she worked as a vet technician while she
completed her undergraduate studies at U of A in Tucson, AZ, and for 1 ½ years
at First Regional (now 1st Pet).
Dr. Begay
loves the challenge of treating emergency/critical cases. These can be the
most challenging and stressful cases but also can be the most rewarding. She
loves her clients and remembers helping a client euthanize her pet when she was
out of town. The client was very appreciative of the time Dr. Begay spent
with her on the phone as well as caring for her beloved pet. She brought
Dr Begay flowers after she arrived back in town. Dr Begay felt very touched
that her client made such a thoughtful gesture during her time of grief.
Euthanizing patients is not a fun part of the job but it can be a
blessing/gift to a suffering animal.
Dr. Begay is married to her
high school sweetheart and has 2 beautiful children (3 year old daughter and a
3 month old son). Their family also includes 2 cats and Beans, who is a Chihuahua
mix. They love spending time outdoors (hiking, camping), watching sporting
events, working out and traveling. Dr. Begay took voice lessons in high school
and performed at her county fair in hopes of becoming a pop singer someday.
However, 1st Pet has greatly benefited from her change in career
plans!
We are so proud of her and
happy for all her accomplishments. She truly is deserving of being Team Member
of the Year and is a great person to work with!
