Dr. Seals studied at the University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine where she graduated in 2017. She earned two scholarships from the Southern Illinois Veterinary Medical Association as well as the Dr. Walter L. and Mary Lou Fehrenbacher Scholarship. Dr. Seals grew up in a farm family where the care of animals was a big part of her life from day one. She carried that appreciation of animals into her adult life, marrying a farmer and raising cattle while caring for her two children, and not to forget her dogs Benelli and Lil’ Ann, and cat Mittens! A mutual veterinary-client-patient relationship where the owner and veterinarian can work together to advocate for what is best for the pet is very important to Dr. Seals. In her own words, “Veterinarians love your pets just like our own. Each and every animal leaves an impact on our hearts, and we are here for you every step of the way.” Fun fact: Dr. Seals grew up on the racetrack (but not for horses!). Her family were dirt track racers and it was not uncommon to see her trackside with a stopwatch recording laps for her dad and siblings. Dr. Seals’ kiddos are already talking about racing and building their own sprint cars with dad and papaw!
