Dr. Dusty Andressen is a New Orleans native who graduated from Archbishop Rummel High School. He attended LSU for undergrad and graduated from LSU school of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. After graduating he practiced in Las Vegas for 4 years in small medicine before deciding there’s no place like home. 

Dr. Dusty was raised in a very pet friendly household and was constantly bringing home new strays from the neighborhood. When considering what career to pursue in his junior year of high school he thought back to the bonds he had formed with those childhood animals. After working as an assistant at Pet Care Center in Metairie, La, Dr. Dusty knew what he wanted to spend his life doing. 

Dr. Dusty lives with his wife- Alesha, son- Walker, daughter- Hazel, and their pets.
