How We Got Started

Dr. Vandermause attended Wisconsin State University-River Falls to complete his prerequisite courses before gaining acceptance into the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating with his Doctorate, he relocated to Los Angeles, California to jumpstart his veterinary career. Dr. Vandermause would own and operate a multi-doctor practice in suburban Los Angeles for the next 25 years!When it came time to start a family, Dr. Vandermause decided to search for a less hectic city in which to raise his children. He moved to Austin in 1996, and fell in love with the green rolling hills west of the city. Crystal Mountain Animal Hospital was for sale at the time, and Dr. Vandermause jumped at his chance—he’s been serving the pets and animal parents of this area ever since!
