Vet Candy Magazine July Issue: Dr. Audrey Shen is Redefining What It Means to Be a Veterinarian
Welcome to the July issue of Vet Candy Magazine, where we’re not just reporting on the industry—we’re celebrating the game-changers who are rewriting the rules of what veterinary medicine can be. And this month, no one embodies that spirit more than our cover star, Dr. Audrey Shen.
Conservationist. Educator. Innovator. Reality Star. Mother. Scrub designer. Global changemaker.
Dr. Shen is proof that veterinary medicine doesn’t stop at the clinic door—it stretches into the wild, spans continents, and leaves lasting imprints on ecosystems and communities alike.
As the co-founder of International Veterinary Volunteer Opportunities (IVVO), Dr. Shen has created life-changing experiences for veterinary professionals and students, bringing skilled care to underserved areas around the globe. From orangutan conservation in Borneo to emergency wildlife response during Australia’s catastrophic bushfires, her work exemplifies the power of veterinary medicine as a force for global good.
But that’s just the beginning.
This issue dives deep into Dr. Shen’s extraordinary path—how she balances motherhood with mission-driven fieldwork, how she’s mentoring the next wave of veterinarians to think beyond borders, and how she’s making fashion functional through her innovative scrub line, 21Scrubs.com. (Spoiler alert: You can look good while darting rhinos or leading a lecture on zoonoses.)
And if you’ve ever dreamed of taking your veterinary skills abroad, you’re in luck. Dr. Shen shares her vet-friendly international travel guide, packed with pro tips, packing lists, and stunning snapshots that might just make you book a one-way ticket.
But Vet Candy doesn’t stop at spotlighting success—we go straight for the issues that matter. In this special edition, you’ll also find:

Because veterinary medicine isn’t just a career.
It’s a calling. A community. A movement.
So let’s celebrate the vets who do more, dream bigger, and dare to go further—starting with Dr. Audrey Shen.
