Dr. Stephanie Peters – DVM

Growing up in southern Louisiana, Dr. Peters knew from an early age that she wanted to become a veterinarian. A lifelong animal lover, she was surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses throughout her childhood, experiences that sparked a passion for caring for animals and inspired her future career in veterinary medicine.

After graduating from high school, Dr. Peters attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge before earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She completed her clinical year at Louisiana State University, where she also earned certification in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture through Colorado State University during her clinical rotations.

Dr. Peters began her veterinary career in Newport Beach, California, in 2015, where she met her husband, Kevin. They later moved to Mill Valley, California, before settling in Boise in 2020, a community they are proud to call home.

She and Kevin live in Boise’s East End with their children, Mason and Harper. Their home is filled with animals, including two Golden Retrievers, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and three cats.

Dr. Peters has a special interest in preventive medicine and veterinary acupuncture, helping animals stay healthy, active, and comfortable throughout every stage of life. She especially enjoys improving mobility and reducing pain for senior pets so they can continue enjoying the activities they love. She believes the best veterinary care begins with listening, building trusting relationships with pet owners, and creating individualized care plans for every patient. She also has a particular soft spot for her Golden Retriever and Bernese Mountain Dog patients.

Outside the hospital, Dr. Peters enjoys running, yoga, and staying active with her family. Much of her free time is spent cheering on Mason and Harper at their sporting events and embracing the joys of motherhood. She is also passionate about mentoring young women through her church’s youth group, encouraging and supporting them as they grow in their faith and navigate life’s journey.

Dr. Peters sees patients part-time, providing appointments two to three days each week.
