Our Location
Dr. Rachel Mack – Veterinarian
Dr. Mack started working here in January of 2017. Her family recently moved back to Charles City, where she is eager to build relationships with people and their pets! Dr. Mack has always been interested in helping animals. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian because of a desire to learn how to help animals who could not help themselves, while helping the people that care for them so dearly.
She considers herself lucky to have bonded with many animals throughout her life. They have all heaped to nurture Dr. Mack’s drive to care for animals and advocate for them.
Her path to becoming a veterinarian started with graduating from Charles City Community High School. After this, she moved to Kirksville, MO where she attended Truman State University. Dr. Mack graduated from undergrad with a major in Biology and a minor in Agricultural Science (with a focus on Animal Science).
It was then time to move to Ames, IA to start the long journey of Vet School at Iowa State University. This huge milestone was accomplished in May of 2006! Right after graduation, she started working at a clinic in Ames where she stayed for 9 years. It was sad to leave that clinic, but her husband’s job took them to the Twin Cities for a year. Finally, her travels brought Dr. Mack and her family here to Charles City! We are so happy she is back where the journey all started!
Dr. Mack has a particular interest in dermatology issues and behavioral issues. She finds it very rewarding when one of these problems can be solved. Many of these issues need on-going care, and she enjoys working so closely with pets and their people.
Part of a full household, Dr. Mack has dogs, cats, and kids! There is never a dull moment in her house. She enjoys being around the water (swimming, skiing, boating), reading, baking, walking and most importantly spending time with her family.
