Dr. Shane Pedersen has been in the Pierce area as a veterinarian since 1999. Originally from a small farm near Hoskins, he attended Northwest Missouri State University for 3 years of undergrad and then received early acceptance to Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in the spring of 1999.
Although Dr. Pedersen enjoyed being outside and working with large animals in addition to small and exotic animals, he decided to retire from the large animals in early 2024. Now he has dedicated his time to the challenges and rewards that come from the small and exotic animal medicine and surgery. Dr. Pedersen especially enjoys orthopedic and laparoscopic cases.
Dr. Pedersen married his high school sweetheart, Linda Feyerherm, in the summer of 1996. She previously worked at Pierce Telecommunications and now works as the Clinic Accounts Manager. They live on an acreage outside of town with their standard poodles and rescue cats. They have 3 children and 1 son-in-law.
