Kevin Fenton, DVM

I graduated from the University of Bologna, the oldest veterinary school in the world, in 1982. Going to vet school in Europe was at times both overwhelming and exhilarating. I worked with vets in Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, England and Spain and saw multiple approaches to the art of veterinary medicine. Along the way I learned Italian, French and Spanish, dabbled in international rugby and perfected my cooking skills...my bond with animals is very deep and it defines who I am as a person. I truly feel that our relationship with animals enlightens and transforms us.
