Dr. Kashenider played the keyboards and sang lead and harmonies.
Dr. Carrie Bonemer
Dr. Carrie Bonemer received her D.V.M. degree from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Instead of jumping into private practice, Dr. Bonemer worked in the zoonotic disease section at the Michigan Department of Community Health for a year and a half dealing with human West Nile Virus and Lyme disease cases in Michigan. She found she missed working with pet patients and their owners, however, so she left the health department and joined a small animal practice in 2005.
Small animal practice is Dr. Bonemer’s passion, and she spent 11 years practicing in Howell before joining DeWitt Veterinary Hospital in September 2015. Dr. Bonemer loves private practice because enjoys the relationships that develop with patients, owners, and veterinary staff. Dr. Bonemer’s professional interests include soft tissue surgery and dermatology; she loves working with cats and dogs. Dr. Bonemer is a bulldog lover, and her Old English Bulldogge named Emmy is her pride and joy. Dr. Bonemer resides in Okemos with her husband and two teenage sons. They share their home with two dogs (Yogi and Emmy) and four cats (Pudge, Cora, Hooper, and Murray). She is an avid Spartans fan and loves watching her sons play competitive baseball. In her spare time, Dr. Bonemer enjoys pilates, reading historical fiction, and spending time outdoors.

“Doc Connie” graduated from Michigan State University, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985, and in 1998 she opened her own practice in Swartz Creek, MI. In 2005, she decided to semi-retire. She sold her practice and began her career as a relief veterinarian. Dr. Sveller and her husband, Rick, have been married for 25 years and have a son, Shane.
Dr. EJ Radelt
Dr. EJ Radelt graduated from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2017. He then joined a busy small animal practice in Flint, Michigan and spent 6 years practicing there. He grew up on a cattle farm in Imlay City, a rural town in the thumb area of Michigan. Dr. EJ decided to focus on small animal medicine because he enjoys building personal relationships with his pet patients and owners. His professional interests include internal medicine, radiology, and behavior cases.
Dr. EJ has lived in Saint Johns for the past 5 years. He has 3 corgis (Piper, Cooper, and Petey), and 3 cats (Paco, Sophie, and Gus). In his spare time he enjoys playing guitar and piano, spending time with his family, and relaxing by the pool.
Dr. Julie Hubbard
Dr. Hubbard graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 and has since been practicing small animal medicine in the mid-Michigan area.
Growing up in nearby Eagle, Michigan with a fondness for science and animals, Dr. Hubbard hoped from an early age to become a veterinarian. Being gifted a geriatric pony – aptly named Lucky – dragging along with him a multitude of chronic health problems, she learned the responsibilities of pet ownership and saw the dedication of the veterinarians who helped care for him. It was inspiring.
Dr. Hubbard has great interest in medicine and thoroughly enjoys surgery. She finds sincere fulfillment in getting to know people and helping them care for their pets. In her free time Dr. Hubbard enjoys nearly any outdoor activity, especially when it involves being with her husband and two children. Her furry family consists of an enthusiastic Australian Shepard, a lazy house cat, two entitled barn cats and three happily jobless Nigerian Dwarf Goats.
