Dr. Aussieker is an exceptional veterinarian that most of you have likely encountered at THVC working while I am away working salebarn or on my days off. We are so fortunate to have her and wanted to let you know about her business should the need arise for her services.
As we head into our second year in business I wanted to introduce myself again because we have a lot of new followers. I'm Dr. Lauren Aussieker. I grew up in Mt. Vernon, IL. I attended veterinary school at the University of Illinois and graduated in 2016. I moved back to southern Illinois after graduation to practice general medicine. In late 2024, I began this business of helping pets pass at home. Last year, I took additional classes and became certified in peaceful veterinary euthanasia. I hope to never stop learning and have additional certification planned for this year. I try my very best to ensure a gentle passing for each of my patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and being outdoors/gardening. I am pictured below with my heart dog Molly, who at 15.5 years old is more interested in the treat I have waiting for her instead of looking at the camera. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2026!
