David Faught, DVM

Dr. David Faught was born in Ellensburg, Washington. By the time he was three, his family settled in Fallon where he was raised on the Carson River. His father was a farrier, horse trainer and professional rodeo cowboy. Dr. Faught followed in his father’s footsteps becoming well accomplished in all three areas (this came in handy getting through eight years of college).

At the age of six, wishing he could correct the mistake he had made with the care-taking of his father’s expensive rope horse, the desire to become a veterinarian was burned into him.

Dr. Faught received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nevada and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Washington State University, “Go Cougs”!

Dr. Faught and his wife Loni are the parents of two sons and four daughters and grandparents of one. They enjoy raising their family in the rural farming environment of Fallon and when not busy working and attending his children’s sporting events, he still enjoys cultivating his roping skills.
