Dakotah Anseth, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

My love for animals began long before I understood what it meant to be a veterinarian. I was the little girl who borrowed encyclopedias of dog and horse breeds eager to learn everything I could! As I grew older, that curiosity became a passion for veterinary medicine and for helping the people who love their pets.

As a University Honors Scholar, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Zoology followed by my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2023. My experience in emergency medicine and surgical care before veterinary school helped build the foundation for my work as a veterinarian in small animal general practice. I enjoy the complexities of medical diagnostics and have interests in canine reproductive health, genetics, and preventative medicine. I am also a member of the Society for Theriogenology and am PennHIP certified.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a veterinarian is building personal relationships with my patients and their families. I believe exceptional care begins with listening, getting to know each pet, and understanding what matters most to the people caring for them. My goal at every visit is to work together to create a thoughtful, personalized care plan and help families feel informed, supported, and comfortable asking questions.

​​​​​​​Robert Frost’s words, “Freedom lies in being bold,” inspire me to stay true to who I am and bring honesty, warmth, and compassion to the relationships I build with my patients and their families.
