We are very excited to announce that Dr. Brittany Shumack will be joining our team on January 26th!
Dr. Brittany Shumack grew up in Alabama and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. During her time at Auburn, she served as president of the Student Theriogenology Club and was recognized with the Proficiency in Theriogenology Award during her clinical year.
After graduation, Dr. Shumack began her career in Colorado, providing both reproductive and general practice veterinary services. She quickly became a trusted partner to many canine and feline breeders in the region, known for her compassion, dedication, and commitment to building lasting client relationships. Her outstanding work earned her recognition as a finalist for the 2024 Westminster Kennel Club Veterinarian of the Year—an honor based on nominations from her clients and colleagues.
Dr. Shumack remains actively involved with the Society for Theriogenology and is currently completing a mentorship residency toward Diplomate status with the American College of Theriogenologists. She is deeply passionate about the connection between reproductive health, overall wellness, and genetic preservation, as well as about advancing education and client communication in her field.
At Kokopelli Veterinary Center, Dr. Shumack looks forward to continuing her professional growth, supporting breeders throughout the region, and rekindling her work in equine reproduction.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Shumack enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two children or attending dog shows with her beloved English Setters.
