Dr. Halko grew up on a farmette in Delaware surrounded by many animals, large and small, and now lives on a larger farm in southeastern Pennsylvania with her son and mom- 3 generations all together. In addition, she has (several) adorable dogs, and (several) beautiful cats, as well as ferrets, chickens, and a small herd of Friesian horses. She cannot imagine a life without a pets, as they provide so much enrichment and love.

Dr Halko started working at Red Lion Veterinary Hospital in 1998 as a veterinary technician for Southard Jones. He was her veterinarian growing up, and he encouraged her to go to veterinary school. She graduated from the University of Delaware with a major in Animal Science. She next received a Masters Degree in Laboratory Animal Science from Drexel and then went on to graduate from Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2012.

She chose to start her mobile practice to provide community service for individuals who are less able to access traditional veterinary hospitals with their beloved pets.

She will do her best, along with her highly dedicated team, to provide detailed and compassionate care to your family companions.

Kristi has spent 27 years in veterinary medicine, and still wakes up excited to love on your pets and help them feel their best. She earned her Bachelor’s in Health Science and Management from Wilmington University, but her real education started long before that when she fell in love with animals and never grew out of it.

At home, she is happily outnumbered by three beautiful pitbulls and two adorable kitties who run the house and keep her laughing daily. When she is not surrounded by fur, you’ll probably find her curled up with a good book or spending time with her family and friends.

Kristi believes pets make life better and getting to care for them (and support their humans!) is truly the heart of what she does. She cannot wait to meet you and your furry family.

Rebecca is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a focus in Animal Science and Nutrition. She has known from a very early age that she wanted to care for animals.

She grew up riding horses, and has always been surrounded at home with dogs, her adorable guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters… even reptiles. Her life has revolved around animals, be it her pups, pocket pets, or ponies!

She is a bright and compassionate and is very excited to pursue a career in animal care :) We are happy to include her as a new member to our team!
