Dr. Andrea Howard

Veterinarian & Owner

Dr. Howard is the founder and director of Wasatch Hollow Animal Hospital. She was born in Argentina, where she pursued her dream of becoming a veterinarian in 1992 at the University of Buenos Aires.

Previously, she had her own practice in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Later, she worked as a veterinarian at several small animal hospitals in Montgomery (AL), Abilene (TX), Albuquerque (NM), and Utah, moving across the country with her family. She also served as a civilian veterinarian at Maxwell AFB (AL) and Kirtland AFB (NM), caring for pets of military families and military working dogs.

Since moving to Utah in 2010, she has worked at Northern Utah Animal ER in Sunset (UT), where she became Medical Director until 2014.

Dr. Howard is a passionate and dedicated veterinarian with special interests in veterinary dentistry, minimally invasive surgery, and emergency veterinary medicine. Currently, she is pursuing her veterinary dentistry certification at the prestigious ESAVS (European School of Advanced Veterinary Studies). This program has provided her with extensive knowledge in animal dental health, allowing her to address a wide range of dental issues and improve the overall well-being of her patients.

In addition to her focus on veterinary dentistry, Dr. Howard has gained proficiency in using advanced techniques and technologies to perform surgeries with minimal trauma—reducing post-operative pain and promoting faster recovery for her patients.

She also has a strong interest in emergency veterinary medicine, with the skills and experience necessary to handle critical situations and provide immediate, life-saving care to animals in need.

By combining her passion for dentistry, minimally invasive surgery, and emergency care, Dr. Howard’s dedication to continuous learning and professional development enables her to provide the highest level of care to her patients—making a positive impact on the lives of animals and their owners.

Dr. Howard is obsessed with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd dogs. She also enjoys HAM radio, spending time in the Wasatch Range mountains, and oil painting. She lives in South Ogden with her two daughters and several furry (and feathered!) family members—two parrots, six cats, four dogs, two snakes, and a flock of chickens.
