A Madison native and University of Iowa alumna, she brings a lifelong passion for animals and science to her work — one that was reignited when her own dog Bo's unexpected health scare sent her to a veterinary ER and reminded her of a childhood dream she almost forgot. Dr. McClanahan has a particular interest in veterinary behavior and is passionate about educating both pet parents and veterinary professionals about behavioral conditions and related medical topics. She works with animals and their owners across Wisconsin navigating complex behavioral challenges, and looks forward to continuing that work as she progresses toward board certification.
