Dr. Allison Luecking
After nearly a decade practicing veterinary medicine in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Allison Luecking relocated to San Diego in 2020, where she is proud to now call home.
Dr. Luecking earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology, with honors, from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2006. She went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 2011, fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian and animal healer.
Dr. Luecking enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine and has particular interests in soft tissue surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, pain management and hospice care. In 2016, she became certified in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture (cVMA) through Colorado State University, further expanding the integrative treatment options she can offer her patients.
As Veterinary Medical Director, Dr. Luecking provides leadership throughout the hospital and oversees the Orthopedic Surgery Department. She is committed to delivering thoughtful, individualized care while helping families make informed decisions about their pets’ health and well-being.
When she isn't caring for patients, Dr. Luecking enjoys being outdoors and staying active. She loves traveling the world scuba diving, rock climbing, snowboarding, and hiking with her husband and their two dogs, Rain and Sailor Moon. Her adventurous spirit and genuine love for animals extend well beyond the hospital, and she feels fortunate to make caring for pets her life's work.
