We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Maddy Hanley to the Desert Hills Animal Clinic family!

Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Dr. Hanley’s journey in veterinary medicine began at her local Humane Society clinic. She holds both her Bachelor’s and Doctorate degrees from Purdue University and brings a special interest in soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology, and clinical pathology. Dr. Hanley recently made the move from the Midwest to sunny Arizona with her two cats, Squid and Minnow.

When she’s not in the clinic, you might find her exploring the outdoors, reading, or creating one-of-a-kind watercolor paintings—she’s even taught classes and sold custom pet portraits!

Summer travel safety tips for pets

📌 Here are three quick tips to help keep them safe and comfortable.

• Buckle up – Use a carrier or pet seatbelt in the car to protect against sudden stops.
• Never leave pets in the car – Even for a few minutes, heat can build up fast and cause heatstroke.
• Flying soon? – Avoid extreme temps and make sure your pet is prepped for the flight.

💬 Travel should be fun for the whole family, including your pet. If you need health certificates or travel advice, we’re here to help.

📞 Call us or book online before you hit the road.
