Dr. Tag’s favorite part of this job is helping people, whether pet owners, the referring veterinary community, co-workers, or students through case collaboration. She enjoys working through the situational complexities of cases to help formulate diagnostic and treatment plans that align with the owner's goals. Recently, Dr. Tag has started playing tennis in her time off with friends and family. Her husband, René, is also a veterinarian, and their two children, Ali and Eli, share their parents’ love for animals. As a family, they enjoy spending time with their cats, being outdoors with their three dogs, horses, and chickens, and taking trips to the beach or the mountains to ski.
