Pets Abroad!

Pets Abroad! with Dr. Samantha Morici, DV

Dr. Samantha Morici, an American veterinarian and founder of The Good Boys Club in Amsterdam, shares her journey of leaving her dream career as an animal oncologist behind to follow a new path abroad in Amsterdam. Originally from New York and trained in veterinary oncology, Sami faced a career-defining moment that led her to withdraw from her residency. She bravely packed her bags and, along with her dog Luca, moved to Amsterdam to seek a life centered on balance, community, and compassion.

Navigating the challenges of living and working abroad, especially during the pandemic, Sami shares her observations on the Netherlands’ unique approach to life and animal care. In Amsterdam, she found a place that not only welcomed her professional skills but also valued the same work-life balance and connection that she now strives to create for her clients. Her practice, The Good Boys Club, offers a modern, accessible veterinary experience that includes home visits and community membership, all designed to elevate pet care and support the human-animal bond.

For anyone considering bringing a pet abroad or adopting one in a new country, Sami offers essential advice on finding the right fit for your lifestyle and building a solid support network. Her insight into how our own mental well-being can impact our pets is a powerful reminder of the shared life we create with our furry companions.
