Dr. Rachel Horne
DVMDr. Rachel Horne graduated from the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007. After graduation, she moved to California to complete an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center. She fell in love with the area and one of their veterinary technicians and continued to practice in Santa Cruz for five years.
She and her husband moved to Asheville in 2012. Since then, she practiced emergency and specialty care and general practice and taught at Asheville Buncombe Community College’s Veterinary Technical program at Buncombe County Animal Shelter. She is currently the region’s only RECOVER BLS/ALS CPR certified instructor. She is also Fear Free certified and can help you with your anxious or fearful pet.
She lives in East Asheville with her husband, two daughters, and beloved canine and feline family members Rook, Finch, and Sparrow. She loves any activity that gets her outdoors, especially gardening, birding, and hiking. Her favorite indoor activities include reading, playing Wordle, and making art with her kids. She is excited to provide easier access to preventive care, routine diagnostics and surgery, and, of course, compassionate care to her community.
