Christine Kassekert, DVM
Veterinarian, owner
Dr. Kassekert grew up on a hobby farm in north-west Wisconsin. She always wanted to be a veterinarian. Even at a young age, she confidently stated that she was going to be a veterinarian and dreamed of owning her own clinic. Her patients were barn cats, bottle baby lambs, horses, and dogs as a child.
She spent a few years after graduating from the University of Minnesota Duluth, at a veterinary clinic in Woodbury as a veterinary assistant and client care coordinator. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 and began practice in New Richmond, WI. She also practiced in Woodbury, MN for a couple years at the clinic she first started at after undergrad. She is thrilled to be practicing in the area again and caring for you and your pets.
Dr. Kassekert purchased Bobtown Pet Clinic in 2022. She has special interest in preventative care, surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, and behavioral medicine. Dr. K is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, The Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association. She frequently attends conferences and seminars in order to stay well informed and to keep the practice updated with the latest information and technology.
Dr. K and her husband live in the Hudson area. She has three young children that take most of her time when not helping you at the clinic. Their current “animal kids” include an English Setter, Tilly, and two orange tabby cats, Toby and Foster, and a small back yard flock of chickens.
When she is not at work, Dr. Kassekert enjoys camping, gardening, raising her kid and chickens.
