Dr. Stephanie B. Dowdy

Dr. Stephanie Dowdy was born and raised in Alabama but grew up on the Gulf Coast and always had a love of animals. She never dreamed that she would be back on the Gulf Coast with her dream career. She graduated from college from a small liberal arts college in South Carolina, magna cum laude with honors, and later graduated from Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. Dr. Dowdy initially practiced in Alabama then honed her skills in Maryland in a high quality AAHA accredited small animal hospital. She then moved to Naples in 2015, opened and built her own hospital in 2017, but later decided that she would rather focus on patient care than business. Her medical interests include internal medicine, diagnostic medicine, geriatric medicine, oncology, feline medicine, nutrition, and animal behavior and welfare.

Dr. Dowdy is a super fan to Auburn football and athletics and enjoys watching almost every sport, but especially Braves baseball. In her spare time, she enjoys nature and sunshine, music, family and friends, and traveling. She recently trekked across Nepal to Mount Everest Base Camp and very much enjoys nature adventure. She has two older beagle mixes, Smoltzie and Lutzy, and an orange tabby named Hudson. She has 19 hens and enjoys her pastoral life in paradise. If you like fresh eggs, she is happy to hook you up!
