CHENAL VALLEY ANIMAL HOSPITAL - Key Persons
Dr. Irene Toll-Schacter has been with us since the spring of 2022. She has an undergrad degree in Animal Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine also from the same school. Originally from Northwest Arkansas, Dr. Irene moved to Little Rock, originally working at Pinnacle Valley Animal Hospital and Arkansas Veterinary Emergency & Specialists.
Dr. Irene has a husband named Tanner, who is a programmer for USAA and a 3 year old daughter named Avi, who is professionally adorable! She has two cats, one named Tesseract (Tess) and Kai, and a pitbull mix named Sheba.
Her favorite memory of Vet School was going to South Africa to work with a game preserve veterinarian and do field work with lions, cape buffalo, zebras and rhinos, but even more interesting than that-she has actually taken a helicopter ride to the top of Mount Doom, has ridden in a U-haul with a bear and has been cage diving with great white sharks. Dr. Irene's favorite animals are big cats and small insectivores, like hedgehogs, anteaters, porcupines, etc. You can definitely count on her to see just about any animal you have!
