ANIMAL CLINIC

Jeffrey W. Miller, DVM,
graduated from the University of California Davis in 1974. He is the owner of Vets for Less, Inc., and has practiced exclusively on small animals for over 31 years.

Jeff grew up on a farm in Connecticut and came west while serving in the United States Navy. His outside interests include farming and Field Trialing English Springer Spaniels on pheasants. Two of Jeff's dogs are in the Field Trial Hall of Fame, located in Grand Junction, Tennessee, and five of Jeff's dogs have become National Field Trail Champions in the United States and Canada. Jeff's expertise as a dog trainer has been invaluable in helping our clients who have pets with behavior problems. He understands the AKC show and field areas, and understands the needs of our clients involved in these events. Jeff has also written numerous articles for dog magazines, and has been featured on an episode of "Breed All About It" on the Animal Planet.

Jeff lives on a farm in Rochester, WA with his wife Sheila and their daughter Grace.

Becky grew up in the Bonney Lake/Buckley area and graduated as valedictorian from White River High School. Her interests include horses/trail riding, running and reading. She spends time with family, friends, and her own "family", and Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever cross, and Warm blood mare. Becky currently resides in Wilkeson, WA and spends plenty of time refurbishing her 100 year-old house.

BenDetta Dickerson, DVM
graduated from Washington State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, in 1996. She is the third full-time veterinarian at Vets for Less Animal Clinic in Federal Way, WA. She wanted to be a veterinarian since she was 8 years old. She comes from a background of small animal medicine with an emphasis in both exotic animals and pocket pets.

Although BenDetta was born in Stamford, CT, she lived in Seattle for most of her life and is the oldest of four children. She graduated from Cleveland High School and has worked in veterinary medicine off and on since she was 17 years old. She has worked at both daytime practices and at an emergency clinic. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from WSU. She did, however, take a break from veterinary medicine to work in the legal field. She worked in both litigation and bankruptcy before applying to veterinary school.

Her two large dogs and geriatric cat take up most of her spare time. She enjoys reading mysteries, cooking, and watching her favorite show ("Monk") on television. She is also in the process of writing a cookbook.

Erin Earle, LVT,

Erin was raised in Federal Way, WA, although she now resides in Pierce County. She enjoys camping, jogging, and learning to cook.  When she is away from the clinic she spends her time relaxing at home and taking her black Labrador mix, Benson, to the lake for a swim or for a long walk.
