Meet the Doctor
Teri Sue Wright, DVM
Founder and Owner
Dr. Wright grew up in New Jersey watching her mother rescue wild animals among the menagerie of their pets. Her horse became her main focus during junior high and high school as she trained and showed in 3-day eventing. That passion took her to a private college in Virginia, where she studied horsemanship and business.
She then transferred to Old Dominion University and completed a biology degree in 1991. Her long-term career with animals began with her first job at a veterinary hospital in South Carolina. Seeing a need in the community, she quit to start a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organization.
The seed was planted to become a vet during that project. After moving to Oregon in 1995, she worked at the local humane society in Corvallis for 2 ½ years, then started veterinary school at Oregon State University, graduating in 2001.
Holistic Veterinary Care
Our practice focuses on whole food based nutrition; the foundation of our patients’ ability to heal and stay well. Proper nutrition profoundly affects the balance of the body’s systems – immune, digestive, musculoskeletal, endocrine, detoxification (kidney and liver), etc. Dr. Teri Sue Wright develops customized diet plans - including raw and home cooked - and nutritional supplementation based on the individual needs of your pet(s), time constraints and what works for you.

Raw Feeding
Technically, the foundation of our pets’ health is based on their diets - the nutrients provided, and the types of bugs that are supported by these nutrients, and the nutrients that they create.
Your pets are (as healthy as) what they eat.
Natural, fresh, and minimally processed foods contain all of the nutrients they need to stay healthy. These foods are anti-inflammatory. In other words, they
support our body to fight inflammation (from toxins, stress, etc) rather than create inflammation (as a toxin or stressor).
We only carry raw pet food brands that align with sustainability, transparency and the holistic health of our pets and our planet. We ensure all diets are appropriately balanced to meet the nutritional demands of every life stage.
For the pet parent making their meals from scratch, we also carry products from local, sustainable,
grass-fed & grass-finished farms.
