Dr. Sarah Chen brings a unique combination of hands-on veterinary experience and clear, accessible writing to everything she does at Barking Goods. Her background in clinical practice means she understands the real-world questions pet parents face every day — from choosing the right food to recognizing early signs of health issues.

As our Veterinary Editor, Dr. Chen ensures that every piece of health and nutrition content on Barking Goods is grounded in current veterinary science. She reviews product recommendations through the lens of a practicing veterinarian, not just a marketer, and she’s not afraid to flag products that don’t meet her standards.

Dr. Chen earned her DVM from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and completed additional training in small animal nutrition. She’s published articles in several veterinary trade publications and is a frequent speaker at pet industry conferences on the topic of evidence-based pet product evaluation.
