Melody Sundholm grew up on a small farm in central Washington with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, horses, and cows. Her love for animals drove her to seek out a career where she could continue to care for animals and their human caretakers. Melody says, “I love learning something new every day and building long-term relationships with both clients and pets.” When not at work, you might find Melody backpacking or hiking with her husband Micah and her Labradoodle Koia. After earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Western Washington University, Dr. Sundholm went on to Washington State University where she earned her DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) in 2019 [citation][3].
