Katelin McKeown grew up in Saratoga, CA. Katelin and Monty, her 25-year-old Arabian grew up riding endurance together through high school and college.

 

Endurance riding got her interested in veterinary medicine, so after she graduated from Colorado State University with a BA in Animal Sciences and a minor in Business, Katelin went on to earn her DVM from the University of Melbourne, in Australia. Dr. McKeown did her Internship at Steinbeck Peninsula Equine Clinics (SPEC) in 2019-2020. She worked for an equine veterinary practice in the Santa Cruz area (and had a baby girl!) before returning to SPEC in March 2024. She feels that SPEC will help her reach her full potential as a veterinarian, practicing great medicine. Dr. McKeown enjoys wellness care, internal medicine, and emergency medicine, and would like to become certified in equine acupuncture and chiropractic care.

 

When not working, Katelin enjoys hiking, biking, and traveling with her husband William, young daughter, and their dog Finn, a Dobermann-German Shepherd mix.
