Dr. Shelby Perkins
Dr. Shelby Perkins is a lifelong local to the Trenton community. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was a little girl and always dreamed of returning to serve our community. She received her Associates degree from North Central Missouri College and her Bachelor’s in Animal Science Pre-Vet from Northwest Missouri State University. She then attended the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine where she graduated in May of 2021 before returning home. Dr. Shelby purchased Affordable Vet Care in June of 2021 and began living her dream! Her and her husband (Brandon) have 3 dogs, a cat (plus several farm cats), cattle, and one very wild, cow-obsessed little boy named Jason.
She is honored to be able to serve and give back to the community that shaped her into the person she is today. Dr. Shelby enjoys bringing an elevated quality of medicine and service to her rural community. She has a passion for bovine medicine and enjoys providing small animal reproductive services. However, her favorite part of the job is the relationships she builds with her patients and their owners!
We also have a great group of staff who support our doctors daily to bring great care to your pets while in our clinic.
