Dr. Kate An Hunter graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990. She worked previously as a chemist at 3M and was already involved in dog training and showing.

As a practicing veterinarian and owner of Carver Lake Veterinary Center, Dr. Hunter enjoys the opportunity to work with people who are as bonded to their companion animals as she is to hers. When she isn't at the Center, she is usually training her dog Curry, or riding her horses Ferrous & Altan on the trails. Her work in training and competition with animals has lead to her special interest in canine behavior, training, and athletics, and a membership in the American Canine Sports Medicine Association.

Dr. Hunter is a past president of the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association, and enjoys sharing her interest in pet care by teaching First Aid for Pets, taking calls on Minnesota Public Radio, and making regular appearances on the cable television program "The Dog Show."
