Keelan Rogers, DVM

Keelan is the co-founder of Rogers Veterinary Service. He is a native Oregonian, having grown up near Eugene. He participated in the Eugene Pony Club in middle school, and through high school devoted a significant portion of his time to training horses and working on small farms in the community. It was during this time that he began to develop an interest in veterinary medicine. He attended Oregon State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in animal science in 2003. While at OSU, he became involved in the OSU Polo Club and the Army ROTC. Shortly after graduation, his Army National Guard unit was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq, and he deferred attending vet school while deployed. He safely returned from Iraq and graduated from OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. After graduation, he had the pleasure of working at a small mixed-animal clinic in Eugene for several months before undertaking the adventure of starting Rogers Veterinary Service with his wife, Annika. He enjoys working with all animals, but especially horses and assisting livestock producers. Equine dentistry is among his areas of specialty. Keelan retired from the Oregon Army National Guard in May 2019 after 20 years of service. He stays busy at his Philomath-area home helping Annika raise their three daughters, Elizabeth, Lydia and Hannah, and caring for their three horses, two goats, and cat. For recreation, he enjoys working on the Kessi Family ranch in Harlan and participating in outdoor activities. (Source)
