Dr. Andrea Perry

Purdue 2020

Hi everyone! I’m Dr. Andrea, Horse & Hound’s newest veterinarian. I wanted to be sure I introduced myself, as these crazy times might not allow us to meet in person for a little while! I’m a recent graduate of Purdue’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where I tracked Mixed Animal medicine. While in school, I spent 3 weeks on externship at Horse & Hound and shared time between the equine and small animal sides of the practice. I love the variety of animals and diverse range of experiences that mixed animal medicine gives me. My love for animals began on my parent’s farm, and my interest in veterinary medicine bloomed from there. I am so excited to achieve this goal and officially begin my career. My favorite thing about veterinary medicine is the ability to pair up with you, the owner, to make sure that your animal gets the best care possible and give you some peace of mind. I cannot wait to work with you and meet all your animals – big and small!
