Dr. Pam Meier was raised in California and Colorado, and moved to the Seattle area after receiving her BA in Sociology and Art at the University of Virginia.  Her first exposure to veterinary medicine was as a receptionist at the original Companion Animal Hospital, just down the street from its current location.  She proceeded to complete her studies at Colorado State University, receiving a BS in Biology as well as her DVM.  Having fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest, Pam returned in 2000 to Companion Animal Hospital as an associate.

Her free time is often dedicated to her home, garden, and her four legged housemates, including 4 cats (Mister, Nutmeg, Emme, and Monkey Biscuit) and Ivy, a very excitable terrier mix, who presented to CAH as an orphan with a broken tibia after being hit by a car. When given the chance, Pam likes to try out new restaurants, go to the movies, and explore new countries.
