                    Announcements
Del Valle Pet Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of  Dr. Karin Connor. She grew up and went to school here in Livermore. Her Grandfather was a veterinarian in southern California and she was happy to be taught at a young age how to give medications and give injections to her own pets under his supervision. She even got to watch her first dog get neutered! She grew up with dogs, cats, rats, and her horse and cannot remember a time when she did not want to be a vet too.
After attending Granada High School she went for her undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley and completed her junior year abroad in Glasgow, Scotland. She was accepted into the Veterinary School at the University of Glasgow for the following year where she completed her BVMS (the Scottish veterinary degree). She has fond memories of her placements in Scotland- her first spay was a West Highland White Terrier in the West Highlands and de-horning Highland calves on small remote islands off the coast of Scotland. During her 5 years living in Scotland she met her husband, Christopher, and when she graduated in 2007 they moved back to California.
Dr Connor and her husband are expecting their first baby in the summer, and at home she is surrounded by her pets; the cats-“Bonnie” and “Clyde” and the dogs-“Mackintosh”- a Malti-poo, “Tim”- a Chihuahua, and “Dave”- a Labradoodle- all rescues.
In her spare time she loves traveling, DIY projects on their little house, and reading, reading, reading-especially mysteries.
Call today and make an appointment to meet Dr. Connor. We are very excited to have her join the Del Valle Pet Hospital team!
