Dr. Anna Findlay
Veterinarian
Dr. Anna Findlay received her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Virginia Tech and her doctorate from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. She is a proud Hokie! She grew up surrounded by and caring for animals big and small - dogs, chickens, ducks, and cows. She decided as a kindergartner that she would be a vet so she could play with puppies and kittens all day. As she grew up, the positive impact she realized she could have on the lives of pets and their families solidified her calling. She has a soft spot in her heart for geriatric pets, and strives for pets to age gracefully by educating families on supportive care and pain management. One of her most rewarding cases recently involved medical management of significant wounds. Her major interests in veterinary medicine are preventative care, dermatology, and surgery. Outside of work, she enjoys trying out new recipes, reading (horror/crime), and adventuring outside with her husband (Isaac), son (Charlie), and labradoodle (named Opie).
