Beth Wilkinson
Owner
Dr. Beth graduated from Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007. During the years following graduation, she worked as a veterinarian for a rural central Iowa spay and neuter charity and at a large practice in Des Moines, Avondale Animal Hospital. The experiences were very different, one building her surgical talent while the other diversified her medical knowledge and skills.
She loves owning a clinic with a small-town atmosphere, enabling her and the staff to have the opportunity to get to know their patients and clients on a more personal level. She and her husband, Brian, both grew up in the North Polk School District and are happy to be back to raise their children, Kelsi, Tyler, and Rylie. They also own 2 dogs, Cymon, a German Shorthair Pointer, and Roxy, a Toy American Eskimo Spitz, as well as a cat, Oliver.
Outside of work Dr. Beth and her family are active in both the Polk County and Iowa 4-H Program and enjoys supporting Slater and the community events!

Meredith Gray
Supervisor of ALL Things
Meredith was a street cat who came to the hospital as a Huxley stray in 2019. She’s quite happy here and has no desire to go outside since becoming a Slater resident! There are many things that Meredith loves about being the supervisor of all things, but here are a few of her true passions…
She loves sitting in her favorite chair and watching the fish in the tank, playing/sneaking into the shed, providing a helping hand in the exam room, disregarding personal bubbles, inspecting any and all open bags of food, causing a raucous to keep everyone on their toes, and messing up the printer by sitting on it!
During her free time, Meredith loves to nap and get all the love from her human servants!
