After graduation, Dr. Owen completed an Internal Medicine and Surgery Internship at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. He has a special interest in surgery and has worked as a Chief of Staff and a Department Head of Emergency Medicine.

Dr. Owen has 3 rescued pets: Frankie, an orange tabby, Dr. Kevin, a brown tabby and a special French Bulldog, Brutus. Outside of work, Dr. Owen enjoys spending time with his family, finding new hiking spots, and catching a baseball game, when possible.
