Dr. Shantel is an extremely caring and compassionate person, and it is visible in her care of her veterinary patients! Dr. Shantel's goal with every patient and client is to treat the patient as her own pet, and make sure the owner feels as though their voice was heard and understood.
Dr. Shantel grew up on a ranch in north-eastern South Dakota, where she developed her love of animals by working with the families variety of critters, including cattle, sheep, horses, dogs, cats, and chickens. Dr. Shantel attended North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology. She then continued her education by receiving her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in St. Paul, MN. Dr. Shantel worked in small animal general practice for 4-1/2 years before switching avenues to small animal emergency. Dr. Shantel started JRIVS in 2012 to help provide affordable, high quality care for horses, however she has realized that this in-home/on-farm service shouldn't be available to just horses! Cats and dogs would like this type of service too! |
In her time away from the job, Dr. Shantel participates in competitive canine agility with her mini schnauzers Rainey and Aurora, trains canine nose work with her standard schnauzers Jade and Sterling, as well as her minis, participates in competitive running, enjoys horse back riding with her quarter horses JR and Onyx, and enjoys leisure time at home with her husband and pets, including three black kitties. Dr. Shantel has a special affinity for schnauzers in general, and heads a local schnauzer rescue.
Dr. Shantel looks forward to working with you and your equine and small animal companion, and putting them on the path to a better health and wellness!
