About Dr. Bonnie Bloom

Dr. Bonnie Bloom, Fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, enjoys her profession immensely. Employed at I-20 Animal Medical Center in South Arlington, she sees patients from all over the metroplex and all over north Texas for that matter. From gum disease to jaw fractures, Dr. Bloom does for your furry family member what your family dentist does for you.

In fact, she volunteers at the Dallas and Fort Worth Zoos and treats the animals with really big incisors. She has performed root canals and other dental procedures on lions, tigers and bears (oh my) as well as our closer relatives such as a gorilla and even a wart hog.

Dr. Bonnie Bloom received a Bachelor of Science in 1996 and a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1999, both from Auburn University.

She completed her veterinary dental residency with honors in July 2002 and became a fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry in 2003. She's been published in various journals, handbood and books as a contributing author on veterinary dentistry.

Dr. Bloom says she finds her work extremely rewarding even though at times the hours are long with referrals from surrounding areas. Dr. Bloom describes her job as the "best job in the world", because she loves having the opportunity to use advance procedures that used to be only available in the human field to make a difference in the lives of our four legged family members.
