Dr. Arthur fell in love with both Dr. Doolittle and James Herriot at a youngage, and decided she would spend her life telling the amazing stories ofanimals far and wide. She obtained an undergraduate degree in Englishfrom Gettysburg College and just before graduation realized she wasn’tthat great of a writer. She then obtained a second undergrad degree inBiology and Genetics from CSU with the intent of heading to veterinaryschool. Dr. Arthur attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicineon the island of St Kitts, completed her clinical year at Texas A&M CVM,followed by a one year general internship at Kansas State VeterinarySchool where she discovered her love of Oncology. A Radiation OncologyResidency at NC CVM was then completed, followed by board certification.

At that time Dr. Arthur realized she was frustrated with not being able totreat her patients with everything that they needed, includingchemotherapy. So, she then completed a Medical Oncology Residency ata private practice outside Phoenix, Arizona. The next six years were spentback in NC providing medical oncology services at a large private practiceand working with the Duke Comparative Oncology department on severalresearch projects. An opportunity to return to Colorado came up and Dr.Arthur and her family moved back to her favorite state five years ago. Shehas worked at two private practices in Lafayette and then in Castle Rocksince then. While in Castle Rock, Dr. Arthur realized there was a significantneed for Oncology south of Denver, with clients coming to see her from asfar as New Mexico. Dr. Arthur is joining Moves and helping to develop theOncology department to be able to extend oncology services to clients overa much wider geographical range.

Dr. Arthur’s primary goal as a veterinary oncologist is to be able to providean amazing quality of life to patients with cancer, while extending the timethey have with their families. She encourages any owners faced withcancer in their pets to meet with an oncologist to get all their optionsoutlined. She is fond of saying that there is almost never a case where

nothing can be done, and there are always options, ranging from the mostintense, to palliative/hospice care.

Dr. Arthur is lucky to have a very supportive husband, two goofy dogs (LulaMae and Archie) and two handsome cats (Abner and Melvin), who rule thehome.
