Dr. Todd Bowdre

Medical Director and Practice Owner

Dr. Todd Bowdre is a 2003 graduate of Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biological Sciences. He relocated to Southern California after graduation from veterinary school in order to pursue a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery. After his internship, he had every intention to move back home to Colorado, however, fell in love with California and the Pacific Ocean. Dr. Bowdre now calls North County San Diego his home and has made some serious roots! He’s happily married and the proud father of two amazing daughters. They have a perfect little dog, a red healer mix, a scruffy, overweight but cute cat, and a free-range tortoise!

Over the last 20 years, Dr. Bowdre’s veterinary career has been focused on emergency and critical care medicine as a dedicated, full-time ER doctor working mostly nights, weekends and holidays. Due to the crazy, but flexible schedule of emergency medicine, he has also been able to spend a significant amount of time working in shelter medicine and spay neuter clinics. He has developed special interests in wellness care, dentistry, and general practice as well as practice ownership. He truly looks forward to this next chapter of his career serving San Marcos and the surrounding community’s families and their pets. He said “From my family to yours; we look forward to seeing you soon!”
