Owner
Dr. Christine Weaver brings more than 30 years of practice experience to Health Care for Pets Hospital. Her special interests in veterinary medicine are dentistry, diagnostic ultrasound, endocrinology, dermatology, and oncology. The human-animal bond is a special gift that she feels honored to enhance through improving your pet’s health.
A native of South Bend, Indiana, Dr. Weaver decided to be a veterinarian in kindergarten when a veterinarian spoke to her class about what veterinarians do. Right then and there, she knew that was what she should do, and she never changed her mind. She earned a B.S. in mathematics (with minors in music, biology, and chemistry) from DePauw University in 1992. She continued her education and achieved her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University in 1996.
In 2002, Dr. Weaver and her husband, Patrick, moved to the Asheville area of North Carolina a month after enjoying an adventurous mountain vacation here. Dr. Weaver's grandmother shared many stories of growing up in Asheville, making it easy to fall in love with the mountains she had heard so much about. Their family includes three young adult children, as well as two Brittany Spaniels and a Standard Poodle, known as Sarkahn, Annie, and Zoey. She enjoys outdoor activities such as jogging and gardening, as well as singing. She is also involved in her local church.
Dr. Weaver’s professional affiliations include membership in the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association, and the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association.
