I received my Bachelor of Science in 1978 and my DVM in 1981 from Iowa State University in Ames Iowa. In 1982 I established the Brownsville Small Animal Clinic in Dr. Griffith’s practice building and in 1988, moved the practice to Lomira.
I have an interest in Pediatrics and Reproduction. In 2002, I opened a Canine Semen Freezing Center, International Canine Semen Bank – Wisconsin (ICSB-WI/IL) and have become Penn-Hip Certified.
On my first attempt at using extended semen, I bred the practice’s first litter of pups from frozen semen in 1998. the arrival of in-house quantitative progesterone testing has made this process far more successful.
My husband, Dr. Daniel Griffiths, and that I have two children, Katy, married to Tim, an entomology Ph.D. student at Purdue, and Karl, married to Kelly. additionally, we raise and show Pembroke Welsh Corgis and Danish Swedish Farmdogs. Our family has raised 5 puppies for Canine Companions for Independence, a service dog organization.
The practice has contributed to pharmaceutical and nutritional research as an investigator for Abbott Laboratory, Deprenyl Animal Health, Pfizer, Virbac, and Hill’s Pet food Corporation. I even have also been featured in articles in Veterinary Economics.
In 2005, I used to be appointed by Governor Jim Doyle to an edge on the Veterinary Examining Board of the Department of Safety and Professional Services, where I served for 8 years.
In 2010, I graduated from the Marquette school of law. I practice law part-time with my law partner, Attorney Sheila Kessler, at Animal Legal Resources LLC.
Fear Free In 2019 I became certified as a Fear Free professional. I recognized the advantage of including Fear Free practices to undertake to form your pet's visit to us as relaxed as possible. While there are many Fear Free practices we use, one among them is offering treats like spread and chicken baby food to offer your pet a distraction while we do exams and testing to scale back anxiety and stress. we all know that a Fear Free experience may be a benefit to you, your pet, and also our staff.
