Dr. Emilie Mouton, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

Education/Training

Louisiana State University

I have been practicing for 7 years. My joy in this career is being able to make connections with pets and owners to help keep the human-animal bond as strong as possible. My interest includes dental and preventative care.

I love to hang out with my husband and son, as well as our two dogs, Addie and Bridger, and cat, Lefty. We love to hike and take advantage of our beautiful home, and we also love to travel and experience new people and environments.
