Our Doctors

Dr. Richard Schwahn, DVM, Owner

In January 2013, Dr. Tangney Gray became the hospital’s newest partner/owner. Dr. Schwahn and Dr. Gray have been privileged to work with an excellent team of doctors and staff and look forward to many more years serving Casper, providing excellent pet care and community service.

Dr. Schwahn’s special interests include dentistry and pursuing continuing education in this area as often as his schedule permits. He is also a member of the Casper Rotary Club. Prior to entering the veterinary field, he served three years as a Military Policeman in the United States Army, during which time he was stationed in Germany. Living overseas allowed Richard, and his wife Michelle, opportunities to travel and gather many valuable and exciting memories together.

Dr. Schwahn and his wife have two children, a son, Taylor, and a daughter, Madeline. While their family tends to be spread around the country, their family in Casper includes their friends at First Baptist Church, where they enjoy a variety of activities. Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Dr. Schwahn is a fan of all things Husker, especially football. Other favorite activities include hiking, yoga, home brewing, and spending time with family and friends, including his two furry friends, Rudy and Tino.

Angela has been a speaker for many youth education programs. She works closely with the Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association (WVTA) and is excited to be the veterinarian for the 2018 Casper Mountain Sled Dog Races.

Outside of her practice, Angela enjoys spending time outdoors with family and traveling. Angela spent several years living, studying, and working overseas. Some of the outstanding places she has visited include Madrid, Spain; Azores, Portugal; Perm, Russia; St. Kitts, Caribbean, and Alaska, USA. A trip to Togo, Africa, in 2017 was an insightful experience for her, visiting villages full of humble and joyful people. This experience is the inspiration behind Angela’s new personal endeavor, establishing an organization called Paws for Education; a non-profit organization to help fund children’s education in Africa.

At home, Angela enjoys being with her four rescue animals and a loving husband who shares her passion for Wyoming. Her dedication to animals has been a driving force for service and excellence in her career and will continue to provide deep meaning in her life.
