Dr. Brodie Owens
Veterinarian
Dr. Brodie Owens graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota in 2002. She practiced in the western suburbs of Minneapolis until 2019 when a job opportunity for her husband had the family relocate to Austin, Texas. They moved back in 2022 (not because they missed winter!).
Dr. Owens, like many others, was drawn to the field of veterinary medicine due to a lifetime love of animals. However, she has found that she enjoys establishing relations with her clients as well as their pets. Her professional interests include surgery, dentistry, and pain management.
Dr. Owens and her husband stay busy with two teenage daughters. They share their house with three dogs (one chocolate lab and two pugs) and three guinea pigs.

Gibbs
The Clinic Cat
Gibbs was brought to PVPH in September 2018 as a stray kitten. After unsuccessfully trying to locate a previous owner, Gibbs became the clinic cat. He enjoys treats, naps, and playing with the pets as they visit the clinic. He even knows how to sit and shake! Gibbs is very fashion forward and has an impressive collection of bow ties. In true cat style, he is also a little mischievous and will knock liquids over, explore high places, and steal your food! Gibbs has become a part of our family and is an invaluable part of life at PVPH.
