She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. Following veterinary school, she completed an intensive Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Internship at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital.

She also loves traveling, with some of her favorite memories being in South Africa, Peru, and South Korea. Above all, she loves being with her family, friends, husband, and her precious dog, Pippa, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Dr. Dulake has a deep love and understanding for our companion animals. She will be there for you every step of the way showing compassion, support, and empathy.
