Dr. Kathy Wilks

Veterinarian

Kathy Wilks (she/her) was born and raised in Colorado. Growing up and attending school in Englewood, she then went on to Colorado State University where she received her Bachelor’s and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She has been a veterinarian in the south and west suburbs of Denver since her graduation. The drive to help animals and their parents, as well as the desire to retain a hometown doctor feel, lead Dr. Wilks to open Vista Paws Mobile Veterinary practice that will continue to serve the same suburbs she has been a part of for more than 25 years. Dr. Wilks believes in creating a partnership with her clients to provide the best possible care for her patients. 

 Dr. Wilks strives to bring complete care to her patients from puppy or kitten wiggles to the difficult last days, focusing on preventative health including dental care, behavior, and the human-animal bond. She is a Fear Free Certified veterinarian and has seen firsthand how bringing care to our pet’s homes greatly decreases the stress and anxiety many pets and their guardians know all too well with traditional vet office visits. 

 When not helping patients, she is enjoying our beautiful state with her husband, daughter, and two active Australian Shepherds, Cooper and Ollie. Dr. WIlks is an active Australian Shepherds foster, helping this often misunderstood breed find their furever homes. 

Dr. Wilks cannot wait to welcome you and your pet(s) into the Vista Paws Family!
