Starting with the working dogs under her care as a military veterinarian, to the tracking dogs of both civilian and government agencies and continuing with the search and rescue dogs of Colorado. Dr. Andre has a special love for any "dog with a job".
Working dogs present a unique challenge to the veterinary practitioner with the need to provide exceptional care without interrupting that dog's ability to accomplish its "mission". She loves providing holistic veterinary care to working and sporting dogs as much as she enjoys providing first aid, husbandry, behavior and injury prevention training to their handlers. |
