Dr. Betty Menke DVM

Dr. Betty Menke was born in Minnesota. The first 10 years of her life were spent on a small farm of the type which is nearly extinct. It was long enough to develop a strong affinity for many types of animals. After graduating from the University of Minnesota, she went into a small farm community practice in North Dakota, where she spent 3 years. From there she moved to Tucson and into pet practice. She is the chief support and servant of 4 dogs. Her other interests cover a wide range of things: reading, gardening, hiking, quilting, counted cross-stitch, puzzle solving and roller blading. Her masters (the 4 dogs) prefer that she participate in those things which keep her under their observation.
