Dr. Shana Kitchen was born in North Carolina and began working in the veterinary field in her teens. She attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville for her undergraduate degree before moving to Colorado to attend Colorado State University for her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Kitchen has been practicing veterinary medicine in Colorado and Washington since 2014. She enjoys small animal general practice as it gives her the opportunity to get to know each of her clients and their pets. This allows her to implement distinct diagnostic and treatment plans specific to their individual needs. She appreciates the privilege of helping care for her patients through all stages of life — from preventative puppy and kitten treatments to difficult end-of-life decisions. Her areas of interest include dermatology, nutrition, internal medicine, and pain management.
Outside of work, Shana enjoys spending time with her wife, Daniela, and their two kitties and dog, Jack, Pablo, and Hattie Mae. She also enjoys anything that involves being outside, reading, art, live music, and the amazing foodie world of Seattle.
