Business owner information

Dr. Brian V.

Business Owner

Dr. Brian VanHorn grew up exploring the trails and waterways near his childhood home located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. His parents were regularly discovering new habitats he had created in his bedroom for adopted injured wildlife he had rescued on his hiking adventures. This love of animals was learned by watching the work of his grandfather who was a mixed animal veterinarian in rural Wisconsin. It was from Dr. Melvin Seeliger, known to Brian as Grandpa and to his clients simply as "Doc", from whom Brian received his early introduction to the profession. Young Brian often had the opportunity to tag along with Grandpa during his veterinary house calls. From these early days of mentorship with Doc, Dr. VanHorn has worked in many areas of the veterinary world since obtaining his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Western University in 2007. Dr. VanHorn has been practicing for the last eleven years and brings that experience to your pet in your home.
