About Vet

Hi there, I'm Dr. Tuttle — an emergency veterinarian with five years of experience in specialty and referral hospitals,

I graduated from Washington State University, then completed a one-year small animal rotating internship focused on emergency and critical care, followed by a second one-year surgical internship focused on orthopedics and oncological surgery. That combination means I'm especially comfortable talking through urgent questions, post-operative concerns, recovery expectations after orthopedic procedures, and treatment decisions for pets facing a cancer diagnosis. If your regular vet or a specialist has recommended surgery and you'd like a second set of eyes or just want help understanding what's ahead, I'm happy to walk through it with you.

Outside of emergency cases, I also enjoy general wellness conversations, triage questions, and helping pet parents who simply want a knowledgeable person to think out loud with. No question is too small.
