"PROVIDING THE QUALITY CARE YOU EXPECT FOR THE CONTINUED WELL-BEING OF ALL YOUR PETS."

After graduating from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991, Rick Whitty, DVM, moved to Utah to continue working in Veterinary medicine. After working with animals that were fearful of the Vet's office and providing care for older pets, the idea to create a mobile vet clinic was born. This mobile vet clinic allows professionals to provide basic services right in the pet owner's home.

• Dr. Whitty is an avid lover of the outdoors, mountain biking and sailing in Florida.  He is married to Sherry and they have 1 son, 3 dogs and a cat.

Karla was born and raised in the foothills of the Adirondacks in upstate New York where she developed a curiosity and love for our natural world. During her undergraduate studies, she pursued interests in biological research and veterinary sciences, which prepared her to join the inaugural class of the combined DVM/PhD program at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. During her combined degree training, Karla pursued a mixed small and large animal pathway during her clinical rotations, completed a dissertation on the evolution of canine parvovirus, and developed her pedagogical skills as a future faculty fellow. After earning her veterinary degree, Karla worked part time for Shelter Outreach Services in Ithaca, New York, providing spay/neuter surgeries and infection control support for regional animal shelters. Karla also completed postdoctoral studies at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Maryland, where she continued studying viral evolution and host switching, as well as genomics, bioinformatics, and microbiome sciences.

Karla moved to Sandy, Utah, in the summer of 2020 to teach science to middle and upper school students at Waterford School. She was excited to join Dr. Whitty's team at Salt Lake Veterinary Services in the summer of 2021 as a part-time veterinarian where she usually works Saturdays throughout the year and additional days in the summers.

Karla also enjoys spending time with her dogs, Fig and Fern, Nordic skiing, hiking, reading, and solving puzzles. She looks forward to working with you to help your pets live their healthiest possible lives.
