 Dr. Kathy Kallay believes
that animals should be cared for in a conscientious,
responsible manner. Education is an important part of
her relationship with clients, because better-informed
clients have longer, healthier relationships with their
pets.
As the owner of Four Paws, she is committed
to provide exceptional customer service and the highest
quality medical care.Dr. Kallay's medical
interests include Internal Medicine, Behavior,
Dentistry, and Surgery. She has received advanced training in
all of these disciplines. She is a member of the
American Veterinary Medical
Association (AVMA), the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and
Phi
Zeta, a veterinary honor
society.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading, walking her dogs, and
Carolina Shag Dancing with her husband. She is also an avid photographer
and has won multiple awards in amateur competitions.
A native of
Southern California, she moved to Fredericksburg in 2001
following graduation from the College of Veterinary Medicine at
Kansas State University. She has been practicing veterinary
medicine locally since 2001. Four Paws opened in 2006 as
a result of her desire to provide a high quality,
compassionate, and professional hospital closer to her
home in Spotsylvania County.
Dr. Kallay adopted both of her
pets from animal shelters: Scarlett, an 11-year
old spayed Black and Tan Hound mix; and Merlin, a 10-year old
neutered Hound/Border Collie mix. She still misses her cat of 13
years, Angus, who she lost to intestinal cancer August 27, 2010.
Community service is a way of
life for Dr. Kallay. She has been a
puppy-raiser for Canine Companions for Independence
(CCI), and has performed therapy visits in the community with her dog Scarlett.
She currently serves on the Executive Committee of
"We Want a Dog Park in
Spotsylvania".
