Quality veterinary care — on wheels

Our mission is to provide magnificent veterinary care — in your home, where your pet feels the most safe and comfortable. To us that means not only solid medicine, but also kind, compassionate, and gentle care. It means staying curious, listening with enthusiasm, and earning your trust. 

And most of all, it means developing rich, long-standing relationships with you and your pets — you’re a part of our family.

He and I have been through a lot in our short time with Blu, but I consider him a dear friend. Almost makes me want another dog {wink}.

Since earning my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Minnesota a dozen or so years ago, what I’ve found most fascinating about practicing veterinary medicine is how much I care for people. That’s right, I said people! 

I left a long career in mechanical engineering to refocus my tireless problem-solving energy on my first love: German Shepherds. Well, as you can imagine, it didn’t take long for all kinds of other canines — as well as those wildly independent felines — to weave their way into my heart. Of course, every one of those 4-legged animals comes with a 2-legged one.  

Establishing and supporting a strong doctor and client relationship is one of the most important things I do. And while I truly care for every animal placed under my watchful eye, I’m equally dedicated to earning your trust and getting to know you.

I’ll be honest with you: This is my first clinic manager position. But let’s just say, I come to it with all kinds of applicable experience. 

I have been a 4th-grade teacher for 20+ years. In the classroom, I wear many hats: teacher, coach, psychologist, nurse, secretary, and surrogate parent. It is challenging and fulfilling. Prior to teaching, I was an interior designer. Along with creating designs for public spaces, I was also a project manager, coordinating many aspects of the design and build process with the client, contractor, and design team.

I’m delighted to parlay all those years of experience — and the many skills I’ve developed along the way — into keeping Antenucci’s Magnificent Traveling Veterinary running smoothly.
