    Karen Anderson DVM
    With over 30 years of experience in compassionate care for the creatures in our lives who we call a part of our family, Dr. K is an integral part of the fabric of the Mad River Valley and the families that reside here. In addition, those who call this special place a “home away from home” also utilize her services since her down to earth approach of both caring and educating is a unique blend that benefits both the animal and the owner.

    Welcome Waggin'

    I'm a ball of energy most of the time... but I can often be found curled up like a cat sleeping while other canines and felines visit my human. Check him out on his twitter page @Neinmeansno

Currently she has her own in home studio arts business, No Straight Lines, writes and illustrates articles for the Green Mountain Animal Defenders, and walks dogs for the Chittenden County Humane Society.

    A lifelong resident of the Mad River Valley, Izzy is currently a vet tech student at Vermont Tech. She owns and rides Icelandic horses, so she's comfortable around all-size animals. That said, she also embraces smaller ones and especially loves her cat Tinkerbell. Her favorite part of caring for animals is 'spending time with them'.
