Years in Practice: 17

Dr. Stoddard graduated from Michigan State University with a BS in Animal Science in 2001, then from the College of Veterinary Medicinewith a DVM in 2005. She spent her first three years in practice in western Michigan in a mixed-animal practice, and recently came to Lilley Veterinary Medical Center to focus on her small animal interests. She is a member of the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Stoddard lives in Canton with her two cats, Gish and Tess, and two Degus: the last of her collection of pocket pets (nicknamed the kitty buffet; fear not, they are a visual rather than gastronomic treat for the cats) which has also included up to 7 rats and 3 mice. When not at work, Dr. Stoddard enjoys travel -- favorite locations include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City and most recently New York -- and collecting resin ball-jointed dolls. She looks forward to getting to know the Canton area and its pets.
