Robyn Blair

As a VOA from a small town in NC, Robyn has worked with many different animals, but dogs have always been the closest to her heart.

While her work demands her to deal with many canine health issues, she specializes in pet nutrition. Proper diet is the key to the canine's health, afterall, so this is an important topic that she thinks many dog owners take for granted.

When not in the office, Robyn spends time with her pooch, Luna, as well as her cat, Rodger. She also considers herself a filmophile and cites A Dog's Purpose as one of her favorite movies of all time.
