Dr. Kim’s practice is split between providing integrative sports medicine for horse and dog athletes, and caring for all life stages in cats, dogs and horses from the Rocky Mountains to Hawaii to New England. Besides good veterinary medicine foundations from Purdue (‘86), Dr. Kim is trained and experienced in many integrative therapies, rehabilitation (physiotherapy), nutrition, and advanced diagnostic imaging such as thermal imaging and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
Dr. Kim was one of the first veterinarians to recognize the importance of focused athletic health care for performance and working dogs, providing care for local police, detection and Avalanche rescue dogs. She helped organize the first Working Dog Sports Medicine clinic caring for dogs at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Since then her working and performance dog experience has expanded into caring for agility, conformation, obedience, sheep-herding, Barn Hunt, nosework, Avalanche, Urban and Wildland Search-And-Rescue (SAR), police/patrol/detection, protection sport and racing sled dogs.
Dr. Kim is a 10-year trail veteran of the 1000-mile Iditarod Sled-Dog Race across Alaska and has been the head veterinarian for 15 years for Utah’s Soldier Hollow Sheepdog Championships. She currently pens a quarterly column in National Ski Patrol magazine discussing avalanche dog health topics.
In the horse world, Dr. Kim did both an externship and internship at a racing and farm practice in County Kildare, Ireland. Once home, she was one of the first veterinarians to bring acupuncture and chiropractic to horses of the West, treating everything from International FEI competitors to backyard babysitters. She has been a vet for both the US & UAE Endurance teams at the Pan Am, World Equestrian Games and World Championship competitions in the US, Spain & Dubai. Feeling that it makes her a better veterinarian, Dr. Kim throws a leg over a horse herself and is an accomplished, N/Tr level, 3-Day Eventing rider, with numerous top placings in regional competitions.
Dr. Henneman is a popular speaker who has taught at several veterinary schools, national and state meetings, as well as at conferences in China, Canada, Europe, the UK, Ireland and South Africa. She has written articles (canine & equine) to numerous magazines as well chapters for several textbooks. In her free time, Dr. Kim enjoys travel, photography and 3-Day Eventing first on her homebred TB-cross gelding, and now on her QH mare. (Source)
