Katie Weber, DVM, CERP, VSMT

Dr. Katie Weber, a native of southeastern Wisconsin, earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University, where she graduated cum laude as a member of the University Honors Program. She continued her education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, completing her degree with a focus of equine care. 

During her veterinary training, Dr. Weber gained extensive experience through externships at leading equine practices across the country, exploring diverse approaches to veterinary medicine. She further honed her skills during an internship at Rhinebeck Equine, a renowned referral hospital and ambulatory practice in upstate New York, where she collaborated with specialists in surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and reproduction. 

Following her internship, Dr. Weber worked as an associate veterinarian at an ambulatory practice near Philadelphia, managing both emergency and routine cases. In 2020, she returned to Wisconsin and joined Forward Equine, where her passion for veterinary medicine and her love of the Packers perfectly align. 

Dr. Weber incorporates her certifications in veterinary spinal manipulative therapy (VSMT) and equine rehabilitation (CERP) into her practice, offering comprehensive, individualized care.

Amy — Veterinary Assistant

Amy in the National Parks Service

Amy has spent her life as an animal lover. At the age of 4 she told her parents she wanted to be a veterinarian, and although she chose some different curves on that path, she has always maintained that affinity for animals and careers that allow her to be around them in any capacity. She has more than 7 years of experience working in small animal clinics, and 5 of those years were spent as a Radiation Technician in a cancer center for pets. This position was the perfect opportunity for Amy to hone her technical skills in the field of veterinary medicine. She has always felt inspired doing work that allows her to show her compassion for pets and people. With another 5 years of her life working for the National Park Service, she was lucky enough to be offered experiences that led her to find a great passion for horses (and mules!). Since her first time on horseback, she has been excited to discover how this new passion of working with equines would fall into place.

In her time outside of work, Amy can often be found reading a book, rock climbing, or camping. She also loves spending time with her sweet cat, Edie.
