See Our Story

Meet Dr. Heiken

Dr. Whitney Heiken, originally from Ohio, completed her Bachelor of Science in Zoology degree at Michigan State University before enrolling at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine for her Masters of Science in Animals and Public Policy and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees.

She worked as a veterinary technician for several years before becoming a veterinarian. After graduating with her DVM in 2017, she practiced near Boston, Massachusetts for several years before moving to Pennsylvania in 2020. Dr. Heiken has strong interests in preventative medicine, pain management and client education and has a passion for sharing her knowledge of animals with her clients so that they are truly involved in their pets’ care plans.

Outside of work, Dr. Heiken enjoys fishing and golfing, though her biggest hobby is training and competing in dog agility with her two Swedish Vallhunds, Valkyrie and Fish; so far she has competed in the AKC Agility National Championships and the Westminster Masters Agility Championship, and she has been invited to the AKC Agility Invitational for 2022.

She and her husband, Paul, share their home with three dogs (Valkyrie, Fish, and Toby, a Cardigan Welsh Corgi), two cats, two leopard geckos, and several fish.

What vaccines do you recommend for dogs?

We can discuss our recommendations in detail during an appointment, but we recommend that most dogs be vaccinated for rabies, DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and parainfluenza), bordetella (kennel cough), and leptospirosis. Some dogs should also consider the lyme disease and canine influenza (CIV) vaccines.

What vaccines do you recommend for cats?

We can discuss our recommendations in detail during an appointment, but we recommend that most cats be vaccinated with rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheaitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia) vaccines. Cats who go outdoors should be vaccinated against feline leukemia virus as well.
