Dr. Debby Burnett

Dr. Debby Burnett was raised in Greeley, Colorado. She was interested in Veterinary Medicine, but a high school teacher told her that she wasn't good enough in science to pursue it. She started University in Journalism, then switched to Kinesiology and later earned a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy in 1995.

As a Pediatric Physical Therapist, she rekindled her interest in Veterinary Medicine when working with her patients using hippotherapy. She earned her DVM from Texas A&M in 2003. Afterwards, she did an Equine Reproduction Internship, then transitioned to mixed animal practice in Wyoming while still working as a physical therapist part time.

After completing the CSU Acupuncture course in 2006, she starting using it in mixed animal practice in Wyoming and Colorado. Looking for a change from traditional practice, she completed the chiropractic training program at ACES in 2024 and has established her own practice, Burnett Animal Chiropractic in Gunnison, Colorado.
