Ellie Andersen

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Ellie Andersen is a Minnesota native. She grew up in Minnetonka with a love for critters, and her interest in toads and worms in her own backyard ended up being the start of her path toward becoming a veterinarian. Dr. Andersen went to the U to get a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, and that is where she met her husband, Devon. She attended vet school at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. A highlight of her time there was volunteering at the wildlife clinic on campus, and rehabilitating injured animals including turtles, snakes, and raptors!

While her patients at Chaska Valley are dogs and cats, Dr. Andersen is still interested in wildlife and exotic pet medicine. She and Devon are parents to two housecats named Maeby and Pongo, a mutt named Minnow, and a destructive rabbit named Bowser.

In her free time, she likes to travel, read sci-fi, see shows in the Twin Cities, and any lake-related activity. Depending on the day, her favorite music to listen to during surgery is Enya and 90’s hits. The part of general practice that Dr. Andersen likes the most is forming relationships with clients and their pets, and helping owners understand what is going on with their pet’s health.
