Dr. Janet Riebe has always had a love of animals since she was young. Her mother recalls as a child that Janet would always want to care for any sick or injured animal in their neighborhood. This innate compassion for animals, coupled with her interest in biology and general science, led her to a career in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Riebe established her own practice in 1999, starting the clinic in her home. In 2001, the clinic was relocated to the current facility in Plover.
Dr. Riebe enjoys all aspects of veterinary practice, especially surgery. She enjoys the clientele as well as the staff. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, road and mountain biking, hiking, kayaking & SUP, Green Bay Packer football, and catering to her critters.
