Katherine Earl
Dr. Katherine Earl began her career at DoveLewis as an intern in 2007 and has remained on staff ever since. She knew she wanted to become a veterinarian from the age of five and developed a particular passion for helping animals live more comfortably.
In 2020, Dr. Earl earned her certification in veterinary acupuncture (CVA) through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society after completing a rigorous curriculum of online and in-person coursework, examinations, and case studies. She went on to establish DoveLewis’ Integrative Pain Management service.
Dr. Earl is also a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner (CVPP), a designation recognizing advanced education, training, and experience in interdisciplinary pain management. Her combined expertise allows her to approach pain from multiple angles and develop individualized care plans that support each pet’s comfort and quality of life.
Outside of work, Dr. Earl enjoys skiing, cooking, and hosting dinner parties, listening to music, reading, and chasing after her two kids.
