Dr. Emily Rothstein founded and operated the Animal Allergy and Dermatology Service of Connecticut for 25 years, until her retirement in 2022. Although she has retired from clinical work, she is actively involved with many aspects of veterinary dermatology, including consultations with VESPECON (Veterinary Specialty Consultants), serving on the Advisory Board of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology, Secretary of World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology 2024, and the Administrative Committee of the World Association for Veterinary Dermatology. Wanting to give back to Connecticut’s pets and their owners, Dr. Rothstein started her volunteer work with the CVMA Continuing Education Committee in 2022 and the CVMF Companions in Crisis (CIC) in 2023, where she serves as liaison. She lives with her husband and their three medically-released Labrador retrievers.
