Dr. Bruce Pedersen

Growing up in Nebraska with a veterinarian father, Bruce complements his veterinary background with a proven and successful track record in technology and real estate. Dr. Pedersen received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University in 1992 and has special interest in bovine reproduction and medicine. An innovator in veterinary software (the first with his vet school partner to develop software that incorporated pet pictures on invoices), Bruce pursued his vision by pairing his diverse experience and passion for Veterinary medicine to design and build the “Mayo Clinic of Veterinary Medicine”.

Dr. Chad Foust

Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Foust comes to us as a 2016 graduate of Kansas State University. During his internship at Rocky Mountain Equine Hospital in Sheridan, Wyoming he took a special interest in equine lameness and reproduction. His enthusiasm and willingness to learn, help, and teach; along with his can-do attitude have made him an amazing asset to our team. We have truly enjoyed watching him grow and expand our equine practice. In his free time, you'll find him outdoors hunting, fishing, or going on a ride with his horse, Max.

Dr. Carl McQueary

Associate Veterinarian

Montana native, Dr. McQueary started his path in veterinary medicine at Montana State University where he received his M.S. in Veterinary Parasitology. He then received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 1981. Dr. McQueary's favorite part of veterinary medicine is promoting health for animals and being able to care for those that are sick. In his free time, you'll catch him watching Montana State Bobcats football, or in the bleachers cheering on one of his many grandkids.
