Robert Vennen

Dr. Robert Vennen is a small animal veterinarian at Ark Animal Hospital with a strong interest in surgery, orthopedics, and preventive medicine. While he enjoys all aspects of general practice, surgery has become a particular focus of his career. Dr. Vennen performs a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic procedures, including fracture repair and surgical treatment of common orthopedic conditions such as cranial cruciate ligament injuries and patellar luxations.

Dr. Vennen is committed to continually expanding the level of care he can provide his patients. He regularly pursues continuing education in surgery, orthopedics, diagnostic ultrasound, dentistry, and other areas of small animal medicine, bringing new techniques and knowledge back into everyday clinical practice.

Whether he is seeing a new puppy for its first wellness visit, working through a complicated medical case, or treating an orthopedic injury, Dr. Vennen believes in practical, individualized care. He enjoys working closely with pet owners to explain their options and develop a treatment plan that makes sense for both the patient and the family.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Vennen enjoys spending time with his wife, Lauren, who is also a veterinarian, and their three daughters, Addison, Emma, and Hailey. He also enjoys cooking, fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors with his family.
