Dr Teva Stone,
Medical Director

Dr. Stone was born and raise in Tucson, AZ. Being a veterinarian was a life long dream that had her moving to Fort Collins, CO right after high school graduation to pursue it. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and later pursued a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, both from Colorado State University. She further solidified her educational journey by obtaining her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree from Colorado State in 2009.
Early in her career, Dr. Stone quickly established herself as a respected leader in the veterinary community. She co-owned and partnered at a thriving veterinary hospital in Northern Colorado for over 12 years.  After some time, she stepped away from clinical practice to embrace a new challenge as Director of Operations for a veterinary corporation. However, her passion for medicine and relationship building drew her back to hands-on veterinary work. Driven by her commitment to leadership, she excitedly took the role of Medical Director at Berthoud Animal Hospital.
 
In addition to her medical director role, Dr. Stone remains deeply involved in the field as a staff veterinarian at WOLF, a local wolf sanctuary.
 
Dr. Stone’s is an esteemed member of several prestigious organizations including the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Her commitment to progressive and holistic approaches to animal care is evident in her certifications as Fear Free and Human Animal Bond certified.
Beyond her impressive credentials, Dr. Stone is known for her warmth, empathy, and her ability to establish meaningful connections with animals and their owners alike. Her holistic approach to veterinary medicine not only encompasses physical health but also the emotional and psychological well-being of her patients.
When Dr Stone isn’t helping pets, she is spending time with her husband, Will and their two daughters – Ayslee and Ahmee. You can usually find her outside, enjoying the sun and all Colorado has to offer.
