Welcome to Kristin Vyhnal, who recently joined the Animal Ark crew.

Dr Vyhnal moved to Chicago to work with us, after practicing in Rhode Island and Ontario.  She attended veterinary school at Cornell University in New York.  Kristin loves it here, enjoying life in the big city with all its culture and ethnic diversity. Her animal companion loves it, too. "I have a Jake -- a large, not very smart something-or-other" of the canine persuasion, Kristin affectionately declares.  Jake and Kristin reside in the Lakeview neighborhood.


Our newest vet has interned in emergency work, sees exotic patients, and communicates effectively with our Spanish-speaking clients. She enjoys these and all other aspects of practice.
