When not taking care of Sacramento’s animals, Dr. Tyler can be found either at home with his wife Andrea, and their three kitten fur babies, Toast, Butters and Dr. Professor Stripey Pants, Wine tasting throughout the Northern California wine regions, or out in nature, hiking and working on his photography, some of which can be seen throughout our Hospital.
