Christa J. Troye, DVM

“My favorite part about working at Kelley Animal Hospital is working with a caring team, and helping people in my community make informed decisions about their pets. It is an honor to partner with families to help their pets live a long and healthy life.” -Dr. Christa Troye

Dr. Troye has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was in kindergarten. At the age of 8, she did extensive research on how to care for birds and convinced her parents to let her get a parakeet. She picked out a blue and white parakeet and paid for him with her own $10. She named him Blossom and spent countless hours training him and teaching him to talk. His favorite sayings were “Blossom is a pretty birthday birdie” and “Gimme a kiss.”

Since then, Dr. Troye has had numerous pets of all species, but mainly dogs and cats. She currently has a Springer Spaniel named Dodger, two cats named Rascal and Wheels, a bearded dragon named Tank, a parakeet called Sour Cream, and 3 goldfish. She is married to another veterinarian, and together they have 3 children who share their love for animals.

In her free time, Dr. Troye likes to spend time with family and friends, chauffeur her kids to activities, take her dog to the park, and travel to Northern Minnesota and warmer climates.
