Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Caitlin Cunningham

DVM

Dr. Cunningham graduated from The Ohio State University in 2020 and then went to Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital for an exotic animal medicine and surgery internship. She then stayed on there for her reptile/amphibian residency, which was completed in 2023. She additionally has experience in wildlife rehabilitation and animal enrichment. Her love for exotic animals and particularly reptiles, started in high school when she adopted her first scaley pet, Spaz, the bearded dragon. To this day, her favorite animal continues to be beardies.

Her passion is to provide high-quality medicine and care for all exotic pets, big and small. She enjoys educating pet owners on the special needs of their exotic pets and how to ensure each animal is provided with an enriching environment. She spends her free time volunteering at exotic animal rescues/wildlife rehabilitation centers and caring for her little zoo, which has birds, exotic companion mammals, reptiles, cats, fish, and even a tarantula. She dreams of opening an exotic animal sanctuary to provide lifelong homes for all furry, scaley, and feathered friends.

Dr. Brittany Bogus

Dr. Bogus graduated from Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, earning her degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2017. She practiced in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for one year before returning to her hometown in Medina County. She has been practicing small animal medicine in Northeastern Ohio for the last four years.

Dr. Bogus particularly enjoys soft tissue surgery but loves the variety of cases encountered in veterinary medicine. She also has a growing passion for exotic and aquatic animal medicine. Most of all, she loves partnering with her clients to cultivate the human-animal bond by equipping them with the knowledge and resources to help their pets live their best lives.
