Dr. Betty Menke DVM
Veterinarian
I was born in Minnesota. The first 10 years of my life was spent on a small farm of the type, which is nearly extinct. It was long enough to develop a strong affinity for many types of animals. After graduating from the University of Minnesota. I went into a small farm community practice in North Dakota, where I spent 3 years. From there I moved to Tucson and into pet practice. I am the chief support and servant for 4 dogs. My other interests cover a wide range of things: reading, gardening, hiking, quilting, counted cross-stitch, puzzle solving and roller blading. My masters prefer that I participate in those things, which keep me under their observation.

Dr. Candyce Moring DVM
Veterinarian
Growing up in Tucson and Coolidge but leaving to the midwest for college. I returned home after earning a B.A. from DePauw University (Indiana), a M.A.L.S. from Valpariso University (Indiana) and the all important D.V.M. from Purdue University. After working for others, I established my own clinic, which I sold after 10 years and have returned to work for others.
An admitted ailurophile (cat lover), I also have a soft spot for dogs (much to the disgust of my seven cats). My interest is in internal medicine developed over my twenty-three years of practice. When not working, I delight in medieval and World War II history, listening to many forms of classical music and ethnic music, hiking, camping, and bird watching (much to the delight of my seven cats)
