Dr. Connie Anderson was fortunate enough to receive veterinary training from both Oregon State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and from Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from both WSU and OSU. Dr. Anderson grew up in rural ranch country, which meant she spent a large part of each day working with and taking care of horses, livestock, and small animal pets. She was even voted one of the best vets in the East Valley by Readers of the East Valley Tribune [citation].
