Meet Our Team
Independent. Innovative. Experienced. Authentic. Invested. These are just some of the qualities that distinguish YEAH’s dedicated team of doctors, technicians, and support team.
Dr. Amie Dow
Medical director, Practice Owner
The most inspiring part of your job? Nothing is more inspiring than using my knowledge of science to help an ailing animal to heal.
Cats or dogs? Both!
The best advice I’ve ever been given: Everyone has a story.

When I was 8, I was pretty sure that when I grew up I’d be a: Veterinarian
Dr. Sarah Kassing
The most inspiring part of your job? Seeing how amazing my colleagues and our YEAH team are, and their passion for what they do never ceases to inspire me.
Cats or dogs? It depends. If it’s a sighthound, Nordic or herding breed, absolutely dogs. Otherwise, definitely cats.
The best advice I’ve ever been given: From a quote I found years ago: “Be a hill seeker. Most of us try to avoid hills, but what’s so great about that? Think about it: flat tires, flat hair, flat returns and—the ultimate—flatlining. Life happens on the hills. They’re opportunities to prove to yourself that you’re stronger than you ever imagined. If you never attempt the ascent, you’ll never know the thrill of swooshing down the other side.”
What do you wish everyone knew before coming to YEAH? We will be as honest and transparent as possible to help you and your pet.

Dr. Paige Jackson
The most inspiring part of your job? The dog who has a soulmate in their person. The pet who, at the end, makes a person say, “I’m not ready but they matter more than I do.” And the dog who brings their toy to their person. Those stories are the best.
Cats or dogs? Dogs. Although I find cats phenomenal.
The best advice I’ve ever been given: Do what you can then let it go. You have only your skills and your options. You can’t carry those burdens further.
What do you wish everyone knew before coming to YEAH? If your pet isn’t number one on my to-do list, it means they’re stable.
My favorite word in the English language? Inconceivable
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be: The ability to breathe underwater
