Dr. Katherine Pillsbury is the Hospital Medical Leader at the Petco veterinary hospital in Dedham, a graduate of Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine who treats companion cats and dogs. Her clinical focus spans dermatology, including complex allergy and immune-mediated skin cases, along with endocrinology, neurology, and basic in-store exotic care for small mammals. Clear client communication is central to how she practices, and she takes a thorough, step by step approach to each exam, gathering intake details and filtering them down to what matters most for an accurate diagnosis. She encourages pet parents to keep organized records from previous veterinary visits, noting that having that history on hand helps her give each patient the best possible care. Outside the hospital, she enjoys time with her grown children and grandchildren, along with water sports and skiing.
