Dr. Lauren Michaud

Job Title: Medical Director
Time with ACD: Since 2020

About Me: I earned my veterinary degree through Utah State University’s partnership with Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2018. What I love most about being a veterinarian is building lasting relationships with both my patients and their owners. I have a special interest in soft tissue surgery and take particular joy in caring for our senior patients, providing them with the extra care and compassion they deserve.

Hobbies and Fun Facts: Outside of work, I spend as much time outdoors as possible. I enjoy hiking, skiing, mountain biking, and backpacking—especially when my dog, Plum, can join in on the adventure! Plum is a scruffy lab mutt who loves coming to work with me every day and takes her “job” at the clinic quite seriously.
