Dr. Trevor Redden
Dr. Trevor B Redden is from Lyman, Wyoming a small mining and ranching town. He grew up on a commercial cattle ranch where he learned how to work hard and appreciate animals. He was nervous around girls, loved football and golf, enjoyed annual pack trips to the mountains with his dad and brothers.
At 19, he went on a 2-year service mission to Washington state where he learned to find joy in other people’s success and developed an interest in medicine. After returning home he attended school at Utah State University where he graduated with a degree in animal science. He got over his nervousness of girls and married the love of his life Nelle.
He attended veterinary school at Washington State University where he discovered an interest in reproduction, orthopedics, and preventive medicine. He graduated in 2018 and came straight to Fowler, Colorado.
Trevor is an associate veterinarian at Peak View Animal Hospital (PVAH) where he enjoys working with all sizes of animals. He chose PVAH because it is a state-of-the-art hospital that practices an exceptionally high level of medicine. He enjoys how welcoming the community has been and looks forward meeting and working with your four-legged family.
When Trevor is not working with animals he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters (Kassidy, Izzy and Josie). You can also find him fly fishing on Colorado’s beautiful rivers and lakes. They are currently renting but look forward to owning their own place when they can have a dog, cat, horse, unicorn (according to the girls), and maybe a couple cows.
