This episode is an interview with Samantha Bouthilette, a veterinary technician and certified small animal nutritionist from Rhode Island, USA. Please enjoy this conversation with Samantha as we discuss her background, education, inspiration to learn about natural animal nutrition and how she's using her new qualification.
Samantha Bouthilette grew up on a cattle farm in Rhode Island, USA, and works as a veterinary technician. She went to Western Kentucky University for pre-vet but determined her calling was to remain in the technician role which she’s now had for 24 years. After completing the Certification in Natural Animal Nutrition through CIVT, she will be providing nutritional consultations at the practice where she works. Sam has lived on Martha’s Vineyard and continues to spend time there enjoying the beaches in the summertime and also supplies farmers with guinea hens she hatches and raises with the aim of lowering the tick population. In addition to guinea hens, she raises laying and meat chickens, heritage turkeys for Thanksgiving, and peacocks. Sam travels across the states showing Hereford and Angus cattle and enjoys hunting and saltwater fishing in her free time.
