Meet Our Team

DR. GENA HOLTHAUS

Dr. Gena Holthaus, DVM is an Associate Veterinarian and proud member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). A graduate of Kansas State University, where she completed both her undergraduate and veterinary degrees, Dr. Holthaus has always been passionate about animal care.

Growing up on a farm nurtured her love for animals, and her natural interest in medicine made veterinary medicine the perfect career path. She has a special interest in small mammal care, particularly reptiles, guinea pigs, and rabbits, and enjoys the rewarding nature of veterinary dentistry, especially helping pets find relief from oral discomfort.

Now based in Topeka, Kansas, Dr. Holthaus enjoys being close to family and lifelong friends. In her free time, she loves reading, gardening, watching movies, and playing video games.

At home, she cares for four rescue cats—Ponyo, Sterling, Willie, and Nyx (two of whom are polydactyl)—as well as a beloved red-footed tortoise. Dr. Holthaus is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care for pets of all shapes and sizes.
