Presenter Information:

Dr. Pike graduated from Colorado State University’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 2003.  After graduation, she was commissioned as a Captain into the Army Veterinary Corps and was stationed at Fort Huachuca Arizona. It was taking care of the Military Working Dogs returning from deployments that spurred her interests in clinical behavior medicine. In 2011, Dr. Pike started a Residency program with Dr. Debra Horwitz, DACVB and became board certified in 2015. 

Dr. Pike is owner of the Animal Behavior Wellness Center with locations in Fairfax, and Richmond, VA. She currently mentors two clinical behavior residents, and employs five veterinary nurses (one VTS-behavior), and five trainers. Dr. Pike is a member of the Fear Free Advisory Committee, is a certified International Association of Animal Behavior Consultant, and is a clinical instructor for E-training for Dogs (an online education forum for trainers). Dr Pike was recently named one of the “Top Veterinarians of Northern Virginia” by NoVa Magazine for the fifth year in a row.

In addition to publishing two original research papers, Dr. Pike has written numerous scholarly articles, and book chapters for Veterinary Clinics of North America, Small Animal Dermatology, The Feline Patient, The Five Minute Veterinary Consult (Behavior), The Five Minute Veterinary Consult (Small Animal Clinical Medicine), Decoding Your Cat, and Feline Behavioral Health and Welfare.

In her spare time, she enjoys reading, gardening, and hanging out with her kids, Alexa, age 13, and Grayson, age 8, and her active duty Army spouse of 19 years, Tom. She has a 4-year old Giant Schnauzer, named Ike, a 3-year old mini schnauzer named Scooby, a 5 month-old Airedale named Ginny, a 6-year old Devon Rex cat, named Dobby, and a 29-year old African Ring Neck Parakeet who she hand reared when she was a teenager.
