Dr. Dunlap grew up in a small town in Ohio and after graduation from Ohio Wesleyan University, attended The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2007. Dr. Dunlap completed an intensive small animal internship at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 where she completed rotations through specialty services and cared for emergency and ICU patients.

Following the internship, she worked in several large practices in the Washington D.C. area, but ultimately wanted to bring her family back to the mid-west. They settled in Michigan in 2014 and she began working at Cherry Hill. She purchased Cherry Hill Animal Clinic in 2017.

Dr. Dunlap lives with her husband, Zach, and their three sons. Their family pets including Gidget, a mixed breed Covid puppy, Pogo, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and three cats, Benny, Geoffrey Phillips Dimple Kitty VI, and Kyle.

Like many veterinarians, Dr. Dunlap decided on her profession at a young age because of her love and compassion for animals and her passion for science. Since becoming a veterinarian, she has found satisfaction not only from caring for pets, but also from developing relationships with their owners and helping to cultivate a strong bond between pets and their parents.

Although Dr. Deptula, maybe a new face to many of you, she has actually worked for Cherry Hill Animal Clinic for over 25 years as a relief veterinarian. Just recently, she decided to join our veterinary team on a full time basis. “ I’ve watched the transformation of this practice from a small clinic on Cherry Hill Rd years ago, to the current well equipped state of the art beautiful facility on Newburgh Rd. I’m so excited to be a part of this group of veterinary professionals and honored to be able to serve our clients!”

Dr. Deptula attended Michigan State University earning her bachelor’s in Medical Technology and doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, over 30 years ago. She limits her practice to dogs and cats with a special interest in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
