Lori O'Neil, DVM, CCRT - Owner, Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine, Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist
I was raised on a ranch in the Mojave Desert and have always
loved and been an advocate for animals. In fourth grade I petitioned the
President to save the wild horses. Later, I started rescuing cats and
kittens. One summer alone, I bottle fed 40 rescue kittens at one time and
found them all good homes. All this while going to school and working! To
this day my passion for animals has never faded.
I found my true calling in veterinary medicine,
dentistry, and animal physical rehabilitation. This is the area where I felt
I could make a difference and have the strongest impact in saving and
improving the quality of animals?lives.
My philosophy is to treat every animal, whether owned or
stray, like it is my own. I am very fortunate to be able to do what I love!
I am featured in the Ventura County Star newspaper as the
resident "Ask The Expert"
