While over the years there have been a variety of pets in Dr. McGuire’s life including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. She currently has Smithwicks and Murphy, both Bengals.

Over the years, she has worked as a small animal veterinarian in a variety of settings. In 2012 she moved to Australia on a whim, returning 4 ½ years later. For 4 years, Dr. McG worked in urban Denver at Park Hill Veterinary Medical Center. In 2020 she finally made the leap of faith to build her own hospital.

Dr. McGuire loves dentistry and can be unreasonably excited by teeth. After working in rural Australia, she is willing to perform most soft tissue surgeries (but not orthopedics, no saws, and hammers for her!). Practicing medicine in a way that is individualized to her patients is always the primary goal.
