Bruce Whittle

Dr. Whittle, DVM, first decided upon a career in veterinary medicine when he was 9 years old and his first dog Blackie, a German Shepherd, died of heartworm disease. He wanted to devote his life to teaching people how to take better care of their animals both large and small so veterinary medicine was the obvious pathway. He and his wife met in veterinary school and built a rural veterinary practice immediately upon graduation. Dr. Whittle has worked on a wide variety of animal species but has developed a special interest in dentistry. He continues to find opportunities to educate others about animal care including teaching dentistry to veterinary students at various veterinary colleges.  He and his wife have four large dogs and a small cat that share the house with them.
