Dr. Andrew Lowe is from just outside Peterborough. He graduated from Ontario Veterinary College in 2003. After obtaining his DVM, he completed a 1-year rotating internship at Ontario Veterinary College and then a 3-year residency in veterinary dermatology at the University of Illinois.

Dr. Lowe wanted to be a veterinarian since he was 8 years old. He developed a love of dermatology during his final year of vet school.
