She has worked in small animal practice in Loveland and Fort Collins for the past 9 years and has cherished every minute of it.

She especially wants her clients to know they are her partners in their animals' health care. She looks forward to working at VCA Fort Collins Animal Hospital where she will be part of a team that values compassionate care and practices exceptional quality medicine and where strong communication is the foundation for nurturing the human-animal bond. Dr. Morgan also achieved certification in veterinary medical acupuncture in the spring of 2014 so this is an additional modality she can use to help manage your pets pain. Dr. Morgan and her husband, Ben, have deep roots in the Fort Collins region and are active in CSU athletic department activities. She enjoys spending time with her young children, Ellie and Will, and they share their life with a lovable old yellow Lab named Abby. She cycles and hikes year-round and loves summer camping trips; she is also passionate about reading and gardening.
