Dr. Richards' journey in veterinary medicine began early in life. Hailing from Wayland, she initiated her veterinary exploration at the tender age of 15, engaging in shadowing experiences that set the stage for her future career. Her passion led her through various roles, including working at a kennel, contributing to a wildlife rehab hospital, and serving as a veterinary technician before realizing her dream of becoming a veterinarian.
Dr. Zoe Richards went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from the prestigious University of Minnesota, graduating as a member of the Class of 2021.
Dr. Richards is a dedicated General Practice veterinarian with a remarkable flair for Dermatology, Dentistry, and Surgery.

She shares her life with three charming male cats - Jasper (6), Sykes (2), and the youngest, Linus (7 months).
Dr. Richards has accumulated numerous cherished moments in her career, but one of her favorites is seeing pets with allergies transform after treatment. She fondly recalls a regular patient whose visits were dubbed "spa days," involving medicated baths, ear cleanings, and pampered paw treatments. Another heartwarming experience involved a cat with resorptive lesions. Dr. Richards removed 16 teeth, and the owner was astounded by the remarkable change in her feline friend's appetite and quality of life.
