Pamela Mueller, Veterinarian, Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist
Antietam Valley Animal HospitalDr. Pamela (PJ) Mueller grew up in Chester County, surrounded by a veritable zoo of pets that included at various times dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, finches, parakeets, turtles, fish, ponies, and horses. She fled the East Coast to attend college at Reed in Portland, OR, where she studied (of course) Biology, learned calligraphy and climbed mountains. Following college she lived in Germany and Belgium (becoming proficient in French and German), then fulfilled a childhood dream to work in Africa by spending three years in the rainforest of the Congo, teaching high school science. Upon returning to the US, Dr. Mueller worked on animal-powered farms (using oxen and horses to plow) in Michigan and Alabama to prepare further for a career with animals. She then completed both a Ph.D. in Animal Nutrition and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at Cornell University in Ithaca NY (2008). Dr. Mueller has practiced small animal medicine at clinics in North Carolina, Bethlehem PA, and Philadelphia. She is certified in Canine Rehabilitation (physical therapy) and takes a special interest in both athletic and geriatric dogs. Currently, she lives in West Chester PA with two border collies with whom she competes in Agility and Sheepdog Trials across the United States. Her "spare dog" is a terrier named Tick who excels at sleeping.
