To better serve my patients I completed my internship and residency at UC Davis, after graduating from Colorado State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. To further my orthopedic skills, I completed additional training at Ohio State University and at the A.O. Institute in Davos, Switzerland. I started SWACC to create a place for local pet owners to access veterinary services, day care, boarding and grooming from one trusted provider. In addition to my patients that I care for like family, I have three dogs named Knucklehead, Poly and Ester.

It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to become a veterinarian. After completing my degree from Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine, I chose to specialize in small animal medicine and surgery. I love being part of the SWACC veterinary team and getting to care for so many wonderful pets. When I’m not at the clinic, I’m spending time with my own pets, Lupita and Tucker.

Becoming a veterinarian fulfills my childhood ambitions. My passion is to care for animals and it’s a thrill to be a part of my patients’ lives. I specialize in small animal general practice and take great pride in being able to care for these special furry members of local families. My own pups include a Pomeranian-Poodle mix named Hurley and an English Cream Golden Retriever named Breckenridge.

Testimonials

Our two dogs, Eightball and Suzie, have been boarding and going to the SWACC day care for several years now. They absolutely love their time there. The staff is attentive to their needs and contact us immediately whenever they observe any health issues with our dogs. Having veterinary services on site gives my family peace of mind. Shy Suzie is much more sociable and rambunctious Eightball flushes his energy with all his activity at day care. Our dogs are happier because of Southwest Animal Care Complex.

Leticia Jimenez & Family

I can’t say enough about Southwest Animal Care Complex. They are truly amazing and our little Princess LOVES going there. We have been boarding her, grooming her and seeing Dr. McKee for over 7 years and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it all. The staff is amazing - Coco, Sally, Sean and Tiger are the best and I know my Princess is always in good hands when she goes in for a vacation from us! Thanks for all you do for keeping our furry friends safe and happy!
