Madeleine Hoog-Crellin - Senior Associate Veterinarian, DVM

Dr. Mady knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was 5 or 6 years old. Once she was old enough she started spending her summers gaining experience and learning as much as she could in preparation to become a vet. Dr. Mady has worked at 21 vet practices starting at the age of 14 as a kennel cleaner. She has also worked as a groomer, a tech assistant, a receptionist, and a technician as she kept gaining experience at various large and small animal hospitals all over the country. She has even worked at a zoo, milked cows on a few different farms, raised calves, did cognitive research with rescue horses at a non-profit, and worked on many horse farms.

Dr. Mady graduated from the University of Vermont with a pre-vet degree. Upon graduation, she completed her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. There, she was an active participant in the ISU Feral Cat Alliance and president of the Holistic Club.

Since graduating she has practiced in NJ, NY, and Massachusetts. At Pittsfield Vet, Dr. Mady specializes in Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Holistic medicine. She also has interests in internal medicine, radiology, and physical therapy. She completed the veterinary spinal manipulation course at the Healing Oasis in Wisconsin in addition to completing the basic and advanced acupuncture courses at the Chi Institute in Florida. When asked what the most rewarding part of her profession was, Dr. Mady responded “There are many parts of my job that I love. The problem solving of tough medical problems, helping to keep animal family members healthy, strengthening the human-animal bond, and learning new science.” She also loves teaching and sharing veterinary medicine with others.

She lives on a small farm over the border in New York with her two precocious and wild daughters who are the light of her life. Together they have horses, chickens, dogs, and cats on their farm. In her spare time, she continues to ride horses, garden, and work around the farm with her girls.
