Dr. Janet Behm was born in North Carolina but lived in Ohio, Wisconsin, Kansas, Germany, and Texas before landing in California to finish out high school.
Following graduation from UCSD, Dr. Behm became a dolphin trainer at SeaWorld, and it was there that she was exposed to the amazing work that the veterinarians were doing. That experience motivated her to apply to vet school, where she graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. She worked for several years in Indiana at a small animal clinic before coming home to Southern California.
Dr. Behm worked on a research project in 2016 studying killer whale skeletons and their diseases. She is excited to be a part of the team caring for the patients at All Creatures Care Cottage. She is passionate about caring for exotic animals - scaly, furry, or slimy, along with our cat and dog patients.
