Dr. Katie Baeyens earned her DVM from LSU in 2008. Since graduation, she has been an associate veterinarian in a small animal practice. She grew up in an environment populated by animals including horses, cattle, rodents, birds, reptiles and of course dogs and cats. Her primary goal in life was to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a veterinarian and someday practice veterinary medicine with her mother. She achieved her second goal when she became part of the Baeyens Hauk Veterinary group.
Dr. Katie is an excellent surgeon and diagnostician and has a great rapport with her clients and their animals. She is described by her friends, clients, and fellow veterinarians as being a tireless worker completely devoted to becoming the best she can be. She is an avid reader of the veterinary literature and is determined to stay abreast of the latest technologies and trends in her science.
She is an active member of the American Veterinary Association and the Arkansas Veterinary Association.
In her spare time, she enjoys riding and taking care of her horses and hanging out with friends. She also is devoted to her three Border Collies (Will, Runt Boy, and Matt) and a large group of strays and abuse cases that have ended up living with her. You can seldom find her without one or two of her dogs close by, whether at work or at home.
