Working as a veterinarian melds all of Dr. King’s passions
in life – love and compassion for living things, endless opportunity to learn
and grow, challenging science and an opportunity to make a difference in the
lives of people and animals. She loves the variety that comes with a mixed
animal practice and gets excited about the challenges that arise when faced
with many different species. Dr. King has special interests in equine
dentistry, preventative medicine, reproduction, and integrative medicine. She
is proud to offer animal chiropractic to both large and small animals to
achieve and maintain optimal health. She
has taken specialty courses in equine medicine and is eager to meet all the new
horses and clientele with in-clinic appointments or farm calls available. As a
cattle farmer herself Dr. King has an appreciation for the countryside and understands
the hard work and dedication that goes into food animal production. Looking to bring added value Dr. King is
excited to work alongside the producer to enhance herd health, management,
nutrition, and production. Dr. King looks forward to spending quality time with
LVCC clients and teaching them about their pet’s health so they understand how
to make their best friend as healthy and happy as possible.
When not at work Dr. King can be found on the farm with her with
her husband, Travis, tending to cattle, training horses, or in the field.
