Dr. LINDSEY SCHNEIDER, DVM, DAVDC
DIPLOMATE, AMERICAN VETERINARY DENTAL COLLEGE
Dr. Lindsey Schneider was born and raised in the Iowa heartland, where family values and friendliness were engrained from an early age. She always knew she wanted to care for the health and well-being of animals as a veterinarian, but her enthusiasm for teeth did not develop until much later. Her light-bulb moment came during a vet school lecture on dentistry: this discipline was the perfect combination of her interests in diagnostic imaging, surgery, and lifelong patient care. If you have ever had a toothache, then you may understand what many companion animals experience daily as a result of dental diseases. Dr. Schneider is passionate about educating clients on oral health and working alongside your family veterinarian to develop comprehensive treatment plans to provide your pets with happy, healthy mouths.

Dr. Schneider’s love of learning led her to study economics and English as an undergraduate at the University of Iowa before delving into a career in veterinary medicine. She attended Cornell University in Ithaca, NY for veterinary school and received her DVM in 2013. Dr. Schneider then completed a rotating internship at the Veterinary Specialty Center of Tucson, followed by three years in small animal general practice in Colorado. In 2017, she had the opportunity to return to her alma mater, Cornell University, to complete a three-year residency in dentistry and oral surgery. It was there that she finally could pursue her passion for teeth full-time and hone her skills in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Dr. Schneider loves all aspects of veterinary dentistry and oral surgery, from treating periodontal disease and broken teeth to removing oral tumors and repairing cleft palates and jaw fractures. She also has a special interest in zoo dentistry; she relishes the opportunity to improve the quality of life for wildlife ambassadors who often suffer from dental disease secondary to captive behaviors such as cage-biting. Dr. Schneider has taken four trips to The Belize Zoo in Central America to provide dental care—including root canal therapy and tooth extractions—on zoo animals ranging from jaguars to tapirs.
Her constant companion for the past 13 years has been a Jack Russell terrier named Pancake who loves hiking, chasing tennis balls, and swimming most of all. Pancake and Lindsey are looking forward to spending time on the water and exploring the beautiful scenery and bountiful outdoor activities in Washington State.
Dr. JENNIFER WEH, DVM, DACVS-SA
DIPLOMATE, AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS
Jennifer Weh grew up in Michigan — rehabilitating wild animals and taming stray cats. She pursued a degree in English at Harvard Radcliffe College and held a rewarding job in book publishing in New York City before pursuing her calling as a veterinarian. In veterinary school at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Weh was drawn to the collaborative nature of multi-specialty care and to the rewarding nature of a helping career. After graduation, Dr. Weh jumped into an internship at the University of Pennsylvania. Her drive for excellence and her love of fixing and building things, led her to pursue specialization in surgery. Returning to Boston, she was a surgical resident at Tufts and Angell Animal Medical Center.
More
After residency, Dr. Weh moved to Seattle to join the first emergency and critical care practice in the area. She established a surgery service in the South Sound and grew it for many years before joining Puget Sound Veterinary Specialists.
Dr. Weh considers herself a true general surgeon. She has a particular interest in fracture repair and technical soft tissue surgery (oncologic, trauma and reconstructive surgery, thoracic surgery, and minimally invasive surgery). She enjoys the precision of elective orthopedics and the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge of emergency surgery cases.
The most rewarding aspect of being a veterinary surgeon for Dr. Weh is the daily opportunity to grow meaningful relationships. She values having a positive effect in people’s and pet’s lives through listening and tailoring solutions. She thrives in a collaborative space where each member of the surgery team is valued and invested in learning and doing their best. Caring for pets allows all of us access to people’s hearts, how we act both behind the scenes and with each other matters greatly.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Weh is often found on or near the Puget sound with her family. She is most alive anywhere in the wild with her two kids.
Dr. Amanda Brenna, DVM, MS, DACVIM
NEUROLOGY
Originally hailing from Kirkland, Washington, Dr. Brenna is overjoyed to return to the Pacific Northwest and call the Kitsap Peninsula her home. Throughout her childhood, she accumulated a menagerie of rescued pets and injured wildlife and had settled on a career as a veterinarian by the age of ten. An intense love for horses had her certain that she would be an equine veterinarian. After her own cat Cleo suffered a serious neurologic injury, she saw firsthand how neurologic disease can impact a pet and their family and her focus shifted.
More
Dr. Brenna obtained her veterinary degree at Washington State University (GO COUGS!!!) where she quickly developed a reputation as “the neuro girl” amongst her classmates. After receiving her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2013, she moved home to Seattle to complete a small animal rotating internship, and then to Dallas to complete a specialty internship in neurology at Center for Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Care. In Dallas, Dr. Brenna became acutely aware of how much she missed the rain and green of Washington, and how ill-prepared she was for the relentless sun and heat of Texas. Her three-year residency in neurology and neurosurgery took her to Auburn University in Alabama, where she got to spend every day honing her neurodiagnostic and neurosurgical skills and sharing her love of neurology with the veterinary students she taught.
To everyone’s surprise (including her own), life after residency took Dr. Brenna back to the Lone Star State, where she rejoined her friends at Center for Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Care as an associate neurologist. After four fun years in downtown Dallas enjoying the food & music scene (and hiding inside from the sun), she has made her way back to Washington to join the team at PSVS.
Dr. Brenna’s areas of interest are neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, and neuroimaging. Her favorite part of her job is watching a previously paralyzed dog take their first steps again – there is nothing quite like that proud little tail wag and smile they get! She also knows the pain of finding that your pet has a chronic or incurable disease, and cares deeply about supporting pets and their families as they navigate through a difficult diagnosis. She will work with you to help you understand your pet’s disease so that you can make the best decisions on their behalf regarding treatment plan.
When she is not at work, Dr. Brenna can be found hiking, backpacking, camping, and kayaking – rain or shine! She has a keen interest in primitive survival skills and enjoys shelter building, foraging, and fire-starting. Culinary arts, classical piano, and watercolor painting are less grimy pastimes Dr. Brenna is enthusiastic about. She has two precious pets that make her smile every day – her cat, Toulouse the Tailless Wonder, and her dog, Lady Marseille Chickenbones (the name is a long story…ask her about it sometime).
Dr. Brenna is incredibly grateful to be home in Washington and to become a part of the Kitsap Peninsula community.
