Veterinarian Ross Henderson strums and sings to calm anxious animal patients.

Ross Henderson, DVM, is a veterinarian at the Fox Hollow Animal Hospital in Lakewood, Colorado. He also happens to be a talented musician, singer, and songwriter who’s using his beautiful voice in a wonderful way.

Henderson keeps a guitar in his car and often brings it inside to soothe animal patients.

Every animal deserves such compassion and heartfelt dedication in times of stress and anxiety. Bravo, Dr. Henderson!
