ABOUT COUNTRY VET MOM

 

A Veterinary Perspective on System-Based Animal Health

 

CountryVetMom was created to bridge veterinary science and public understanding through structured, system-based education.

 

Rather than functioning as a traditional blog, the platform is organized into clearly defined Veterinary Knowledge Systems. Each system provides foundational context for how body systems, welfare factors, and environmental influences interact across species.

 

The goal is long-term health literacy, not episodic advice.

​

Why This Platform Exists

 

Animal health information online is often fragmented, product-driven, or condition-focused without a physiological context.

 

CountryVetMom was built to:

​

  • Organize veterinary knowledge into coherent systems

  • Translate peer-reviewed science into accessible language

  • Emphasize prevention and functional resilience

  • Maintain clear boundaries between education and clinical care

​

The platform prioritizes structure over trend-driven publishing.

​

The Veterinary Author

 

CountryVetMom is authored and overseen by Dr. Athena Angela Gaffud, DVM, a licensed veterinarian with formal clinical training and research background.

​

Professional credentials, scientific research, media contributions, and structured continuing education are documented on the Veterinary Credentials, Research & Editorial Background page.

​

Scope of Education

 

CountryVetMom covers:

​

  • Companion animal health

  • Livestock and poultry systems

  • Aquaculture health

  • One Health and public health intersections

  • Human–animal interaction science

  • Veterinary communication and digital authority

​

​

Platform Philosophy

 

CountryVetMom operates on three guiding principles:

​

Structure over virality.
Content is organized by system architecture rather than trending topics.

​

Education over prescription.
The platform does not replace individualized veterinary care.

​

Transparency over marketing.
Professional background, editorial policies, and boundaries are publicly documented.

​

A Note on Responsibility

 

CountryVetMom provides structured educational material only. It does not offer diagnosis, treatment plans, or individualized medical advice.

 

For specific concerns regarding an animal’s health, consultation with a licensed veterinarian is required.
