Although Dr. Winnie Neunzig grew up in the Catskills of New York State, she received her undergraduate degree in Animal Science and worked on a Master's in Animal Microbiology from Colorado State University. In 1983 she graduated from the veterinary school at CSU in the top 10 percent of her class, and earned the "Gentle Doctor Award." Dr. Neunzig practiced just outside Boulder, Colorado for 2 years before following her husband to the Washington, D.C. area. After 6 months of doing relief work, she established herself at what she considered the finest clinic in the metropolitan area, Kindness Animal Hospital. She has worked at Kindness for almost 20 years, first as a full-time associate and now, with the gradual addition of three children over the years, part time.

Dr. Neunzig is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, the Maryland Veterinary Medical Association, and the Greater Baltimore Veterinary Medical Association. She is accredited with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Dr. Neunzig keeps current by attending several intensive continuing education seminars a year. She has been certified in the field of veterinary acupuncure. She also has special interests in ultrasound, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and the human-animal bond.

Dr Neunzig and her family, who reside in Takoma Park, Maryland, have a wide array of pets, including, horses, three dogs, a cat, a rabbit, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and a lizard, most of were adopted under various circumstances. In her spare time, she volunteers at all three levels, elementary, middle, and high school, in the Montgomery County Public School System. She leads a very active Girl Scout troop and speaks at a variety of school and local events about pet care. Her favorite part of being a veterinarian, as she tells all the students that interview her, is to be an observer and a part of the wonderful relationships that pets bring to people's lives.
