We are excited to 
have Dr. Trenna Manwarren, as the new owner of Carolina Value Pet Care! With a passion for animal welfare, Dr. Manwarren brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective to our team. We carved out a bit of time from Dr. Trenna's busy schedule for a brief interview. Here’s what she had to share!
How would you describe your approach to veterinary care and working with pets?
I have a deep compassion for people and their pets, and I believe in maintaining a sense of humor whenever possible. I find that animals and their humans often reveal what is needed to treat a health problem if I observe and listen closely. I genuinely enjoy helping pet owners solve problems they may be experiencing with their pets, as it can be like solving a puzzle.
What do you enjoy most about interacting with pet owners and their animals?
I feel incredibly blessed to work with good-hearted pet owners who bring their pets in for health care. Every day, I look forward to learning and sharing laughs with them.
Can you share a memorable moment or story from your career that had a significant impact on you?
One of the most rewarding aspects of my career is witnessing miracles. For example, I once had an elderly beagle patient who beat the odds three times - first with thyroid cancer, then with near paralysis from a slipped disc, and finally with a slow and steady bleed from an abscessed tooth. It was incredibly gratifying to see her make a full recovery each time, and to witness her family treasuring her throughout those challenging moments. I am constantly inspired by the courageous and resilient people and pets I meet every day.
If you could be any animal for a day, which one would you choose and why?
If I were an animal for a day, I would be a Labrador Retriever. I adore their joie de vivre, their enthusiasm, and playfulness. I deeply respect their confidence under pressure, and I can't deny that I share their love for playing in the water and chasing tennis balls. 😂
