Growing up around working and sporting dogs doesn’t just shape how you hunt—it shapes how you care for the animals that share your life. From performance and recovery to longevity and overall health, the way dogs are raised, trained, and fueled matters.
In this episode of Country Outdoors, host Mary O’Neill Phillips sits down with Dr. Emme Patterson Wood to talk about the upbringing, experiences, and values that led her to veterinary medicine—and how her roots in the outdoors continue to guide the way she practices today.
👉 MEET THE EXPERT: DR. EMME PATTERSON WOOD
(DVM, VALICTORIAN — MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE)
Dr. Emme Patterson Wood is a canine-and feline-focused veterinarian practicing in West Tennessee and a respected voice in companion animal care. Raised in a family of avid outdoorsmen and women, she developed an early love for working and sporting dog breeds—an influence that still shapes how she approaches animal health, performance, and longevity.
Her clinical interests include dentistry, nutrition, soft-tissue surgery, and preventive medicine, with a particular focus on helping active dogs stay sound, mobile, and capable throughout their lives. Nutrition plays a central role in her philosophy of care, and she works closely with pet owners to design individualized feeding strategies based on each animal’s breed, age, health status, and activity level.
Dr. Wood is equally committed to mentoring veterinary students and newly graduated veterinarians, helping guide the next generation of animal health professionals with the same values that shaped her own path.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wood can be found training at the gym, participating in Bible discipleship, planning her next fly-fishing trip, or spending time with her husband and two children. Her own animal family includes Nelli, an affectionate Labrador Retriever; Gemma, a driven Australian Shepherd; and Ace, a retired Quarter Horse who now brings joy to riders at a local therapeutic riding center.
