Dr. Sara Shaw, MS, VMD

In Memoriam August 8, 1957 – November 8, 2023

Dr. Sara Shaw was originally from Pennsylvania, and she earned her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987. She moved to Utah in 1996 and practiced veterinary medicine there since then. For many years, she also taught human anatomy at Westminster College.

She had five adult children who also live in Utah and many family members and friends back in Pennsylvania. Dr. Shaw lived with her dog, Jimmy, and elderly cat, Grace. She also owned a beautiful paint horse, Roxy. When not working, her hobbies included hiking, traveling, horseback riding, and bicycling.

Dr. Shaw enjoyed internal medicine, wellness, and pediatric aspects of veterinary care. Due to her teaching background, she also loved client education. Working with a great veterinary team had always been important to her, and she knew she had found it at Riverton Veterinary Hospital.
