Dr. Kara Lynne Miller was born and raised in Cumberland, Maryland but has always enjoyed spending time at her grandparent’s home farms in West Virginia. She attended the Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University where she double majored in Dairy Science and Animal & Poultry Sciences. Before starting veterinary school, she got accepted into a yearlong externship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Marshak Dairy which further cemented her love of bovine medicine. She then attended veterinary school at Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine in West Lafayette, Indiana. She enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and animals, hiking with her dogs and goats, participating in agility training with her dog Ruger, photography, and rooting for the New England Patriots every Sunday. Dr. Miller owns a menagerie of animals including four Newfoundlands (Koalie, Ruger, Denali, and Tug), two cows (333 and Red Bull), two goats (Copper and Todd), seven cats (Murphy, Tabs, Ladybug, Chai, Tom, Hokie, and Sassy) and some fish. Although Dr. Miller is proud of all of her Newfoundlands, she is especially proud of Koalie and Denali who are registered pet therapy dogs. Dr. Miller is a mixed animal practitioner with her main interests including dairy cows, goats, large breed dogs, and cats.
