Dr. McKenzie Rice is so excited to be a part of the Good Dog Veterinary Care Team at the new Smyrna location. She attended the University of Georgia where she first obtained her degree in Animal Science. Then, in true UGA fashion, she went back-to-back and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Rice has a bluetick coonhound, named Walter, that has been by her side throughout her journey. Dr. Rice’s favorite aspect of veterinary medicine is not only having the privilege to work with her sweet patients but also getting to form connections with clients and help strengthen their bond with their beloved pets. In her spare time, she loves to spend time with friends and Walter, and visit her family at the beach in Florida!

Dr. Thane Boyce grew up in Muncie, Indiana, as the son of a small animal veterinarian. His father gave him experiences that established his love for animals.
