Dr. Erin Spader DVM

 DVM Practice Owner, Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist

Dr. Spader grew up just outside of Burlington, Vermont. She headed south for college, graduating from Clemson University in South Carolina. She received her DVM from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. While in Florida, Dr. Spader was certified in acupuncture and Chinese Veterinary Food Therapy by the Chi Institute. Dr. Spader became the owner of the Biddeford Animal Hospital in May of 2012. Dr. Spader’s pets include three cats: Banzo (Bonny), an “extra sweet” cat with diabetes; Shallan, an outgoing and cuddly cat; and Coco, a fluffy Himalayan — as well as two dogs, Chelly, a lovable Shih Tzu mix, and Harley, a wild and crazy pug mix, and one frizzy-haired Lionhead rabbit named Daphne.

Outside of work, Dr. Spader enjoys spending time with her husband, Al, and their identical twin boys, Desmond and Hudson. She loves to read and has recently rekindled her passion for crafty hobbies such as sewing and crocheting.
