Veterinarian Overview
As a child, Dr. Guenther was deeply impressed by her family?s veterinarian and his ability to solve all their pets? medical problems. It inspired her so much that she knew she wanted to do the same thing! Her veterinary journey has led her all the way to her current position as a full-time Veterinarian and the Co-Owner of Blue Cross Veterinary Hospital. Raised in the Bay Area, Dr. Guenther attended the University of California at Davis, receiving her Bachelor?s in Animal Physiology in 1985. She completed her DVM degree in 1992 at UC Davis?s School of Veterinary Medicine. After completing an internship in surgery and emergency critical care at California Animal Hospital, she started working in small animal practices in 1994. On June 1st, 1997, she started at Blue Cross as an associate veterinarian, eventually purchasing the hospital in 1998. Since our pets can?t speak, Dr. Guenther continues to be motivated by the challenge of figuring out what?s bothering a pet. She enjoys communicating with families over the years and watching young puppies and kittens grow up. At home, Dr. Guenther has three dogs: Ty, a Golden Retriever; Scruffy, a Brussels Griffon; and Sawyer, her youngest Golden Retriever. She also has two cats, Sammy and Ranger. She?s also added ?the little boys?, three new kittens who answer to Gus, Kirby, and Murphy.? In her free time, Dr. Guenther enjoys karate, golf, spending time with her kids, and scuba diving.
