Dr. Megan McKeage
Owner/Veterinarian

Dr. McKeage decided she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was 8 years old. To be honest, she was inspired by her “Pet Doctor Barbie”; but she had a deep-rooted love for animals and it took off from there. She grew up just outside of Wichita, Kansas and her family had several pets throughout the years – dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, anole lizards – she loved them all. Her grandfather is a farmer, and she always enjoyed riding through the pasture with him in his pickup truck to check on the cattle. Her aunt is an avid horse enthusiast, and Dr. McKeage loved having the opportunity to go on trail rides at family get-togethers. Since a young age she has dedicated herself to nurturing animals of all shapes and sizes.

In Memory of Maverick McKeage
Former Chief Canine Officer
Maverick joined the McKeage family in 2011 when Dr. McKeage fell in love with him (one of her junior surgery dogs in KSU's College of Veterinary Medicine). The apartment didn't allow dogs, so he was temporarily put up at a friend's place. Within a month the McKeages had moved to a new residence to call home with their new pup.​ He was there through moving across the country and then back, helped raise two children, provided necessary support through the building and opening of the hospital, and gave us 12 wonderful years as the bestest boi before succumbing to cancer in 2023.
