Veterinarian and Owner
Dr. Werning had several pets growing up and volunteered at the Scott County Humane Society. She graduated from Davenport West High School in 1994 and went on to Iowa State University where she completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. Dr. Werning received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2004.
After graduation, Dr. Werning moved to Blue Grass and worked as a small animal practitioner on the west side of Davenport. Towards the end of 2011, she took steps to start her own practice in Blue Grass where she could continue to provide excellent patient care and service to the community.
Favorite Part of my Job
"The best part of this career is the bonds made with clients and their pets," says Dr. Werning. Her favorite cases include internal medicine, orthopedics, and soft tissue surgery.
Why I chose this profession
To her, this is more than simply a career; it's an opportunity to change the world one small step at a time. She loves every aspect of veterinary medicine and can't imagine doing anything else.
Personal Hobbies & Interests
In her spare time, Dr. Werning enjoys spending time with her family, especially her husband Jason, daughter Julia and son Jordan. Favorite family activities include camping, water-skiing, and horseback riding. Dr. Werning also enjoys reading, spending time with friends and taking care of the animals at her home. Her pets include Izzy (cat), Cloie and Chase (paint horses), Chip-her newest horse, chickens, and several barn cats. She has two dogs: a Greyhound named Ruthie whom she adopted from Quad City Greyhound Adoption and a Puggle named Otto. Ruthie and Otto enjoy traveling from home to work with Dr. Werning and spending most of their days at Blue Grass Veterinary Hospital so you'll probably see them there sleeping!
