DVM, CVA
Dr. Erica Fontenot is a graduate of Louisiana State University and the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. She also holds certifications as a Veterinary Acupuncturist and as a Palliative and End-of-Life Care Practitioner through Chi University. Her special interests include feline medicine and alternative medicine such as acupuncture and herbal therapy, allowing her to combine traditional and integrative approaches for a well-rounded, whole-body approach to veterinary care. She is passionate about patient care and dedicated to creating a calm, fear-free environment where animals feel safe and owners feel supported. For Dr. Fontenot, one of the most rewarding parts of her work is building trusting, compassionate relationships with both pets and their people. Originally from Baton Rouge, Dr. Fontenot and her family moved to the Lafayette area to build their forever home. She and her husband, Eric, have two dogs and a cat, as well as two energetic young boys, Michael and Thomas, who keep their home lively and full of love. Life outside the clinic is full, busy, and joyfully chaotic — and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
