Dr. ChuLittle

Hi, I'm Dr.ChuLittle!

Hello! My name is Nelly Chu, it’s so nice to meet you virtually and spiritually over this forum! I am ecstatic to share my story with you and how “Dr. ChuLittle” came to be. I am a veterinarian (2nd career) practicing out in the San Diego area, graduated from Western University of Health Sciences in 2010. Prior to that, I had many diverse positions working in banking, sales, clinical psychology, teaching, counseling, and training people with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from UCI. My first love is working with people, but later found that the equation was missing animals! My special veterinary interests include dermatology and pain management.

In December 2019, I completed my training with the Chi Institute for veterinary acupuncture and traditional veterinary Chinese medicine (TCVM). I am beyond grateful to work in a career that I am passionate about touching and healing both people and animals. As an avid yoga practitioner, trained yoga teacher (YTT250), and new reiki practitioner, I find it important to balance out the body with the mind and to treat patients as a whole. I found that an integrative Eastern and Western medicine approach produces the best outcomes.

My hobbies include traveling, entertaining, cooking, meditating, yoga, reiki, gardening, hiking, crafting, reading, painting, dancing, fashion, transforming, and spending time with my pup Api and bearded dragon Monroe. Everyday is a wonderful opportunity to become the best version of myself. I am passionate about lifelong learning and doing novel things in order to create more space in my life. Look out for us in my work van as we may be traveling through to your town as I plan to collaborate with other veterinarians across the states. Will you and your pet come on this journey with me? 

My philosophy:

It is my vision to give the utmost compassionate and loving care to all pets by means of an integrative and holistic approach in the comfort of your home. I will be working with your regular veterinarian to provide the best options for your beloved fur baby. It is my belief that healing animals effectively must be done with proper diet, exercise, and acupuncture. The type of therapy will be dependent on each individual. As of now, I am only treating dogs and cats. I am here with you through the journey and look forward to speaking and meeting with you! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Namaste!
