Dr. Raeyna Modrow-Longtin
Dr. Raeyna was born and raised near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After graduating from vet school, she spent over 6 years working in and managing a private small animal practice before moving on to Banfield, a large corporate practice. She spent more than 7 years with Banfield practicing, managing hospitals, and training other doctors before deciding it was time to 'go it alone' and bring a unique value to veterinary clients with in-home care. With her broad base of experience in different practice styles, Dr. Raeyna took the the best parts of these diverse environments and created something better! In addition to providing house call care, she is very involved in the rescue community.
In 1999, Dr. Raeyna completed her training with IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society). This has benefited her patients greatly in the areas of pain management, anxiety, and many others where “western” medical techniques can be less effective.Dr. Raeyna lives in Cottage Grove with her husband Shane, son Michael, dogs Percy and Worf, cats Malinka, TK (Toilet Kitten/Curly), Trouble, and Mister Moby Cat, and snake Rodney Dangernoodle and his pet mouse, Danger Mouse.
