Dr Donna Mensching graduated from Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in 1995. She practiced small animal medicine in general and emergency roles in New England for nearly a decade. A passion for environmental stewardship led to participation in Envirovet, a program to engage veterinarians in environmental issues, in 2004. That led to a Master’s degree in environmental toxicology at the University of Illinois studying the role of flame retardants in the development of feline hyperthyroidism and board-certification in veterinary toxicology with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. Missing the hands-on practice of veterinary medicine, she returned to private practice after several years as a toxicology consultant. She most enjoys working up cases to best help her patients and connecting with clients who realize that she cares about their pets as if they were her own. She loves exploring, hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, tiring out her dogs Parker and Katie and adventure travel.
