Dr. Amy Bear fell in love with veterinary medicine while volunteering at a small animal practice in St. Paul, MN. She had been working in cancer research at the University of Minnesota and was considering teaching as a career, but quickly discovered that veterinary medicine encompassed teaching as well as her other interests in animals, science and working with people and their pets. She enjoys developing relationships with clients and their dogs and cats, and being a part of their pet’s health care decisions. She is also a strong advocate of assuring the comfort of the patients of PineRidge Pet Care. She has been with this practice for more than 15 years.

Amy has a special interest in rehabilitation of dogs, and is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP), completed through the University Of Tennessee College Of Veterinary Medicine. She works with dogs following orthopedic and neurologic surgeries as well as elderly arthritic dogs or dogs with other chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Amy shares her life with Frank Grant (woodworker) and his son Justin, along with Lily (Border collie), Annie (terrier mutt) and Freebee and Eragon (parakeets). She enjoys traveling the world, attempts at gardening, photography, hiking and camping in remote areas, and discovering back-road restaurants on their travels.
