Welcome to Williamson Valley Large Animal Veterinary Practice, PLLC

As a career horse woman, Dr. Paget combines a lifetime of passion for horses with over 20 years of experience as a large animal veterinarian.  Dr. Paget is a 1998 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Following veterinary school, Dr. Paget completed a specialty internship in equine neonatal and perinatal medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Wendy Vaala at The Mid Atlantic Equine Medical Center in Ringoes, New Jersey.  Nearly a year as a resident in Large Animal Internal Medicine at the University of California at Davis reinforced her love for private practice, and she left the university to practice as an associate veterinarian with a busy large animal practice in east San Diego County.  In 2006, Dr. Paget established Giddy Up Large Animal Veterinary Practice in the small cowboy town of Ramona, California--a community she adores dearly.  In 2019,  Dr. Paget and her husband, Keith, relocated their ranch of 11 horses, a pet pig, a pet goat, a rescued alpaca, 5 dogs and a barn cat to beautiful Williamson Valley, and Dr Paget is excited to offer large animal veterinary expertise to the Prescott region!   Dr. Paget deeply enjoys all facets of veterinary medicine.   Though she admits that neonatal care is still one of her favorite endeavors, the further she has grown in her career and as a horse woman, the more passionate she has become about lameness and the equine athlete.  Undoubtedly, however, she emphasizes that the most important job she has as a vet is ensuring that all creatures in her practice, from the smallest baby goat kid to the largest camel, all have access to routine, thoughtful healthcare.    In her free time, you will most certainly find Dr. Paget riding, either on the trail with her husband, Keith or at a local horse show or rodeo!
