Zachary Miller

Associate Veterinarian

DVM, Practice Limited to Surgery

Dr. Zachary Miller, originally from Loleta, California, earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Zoology and Marine Biology, with a minor in Business, from Humboldt State University in 2013. He then pursued his passion for veterinary medicine at UC Davis, graduating with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2018.

Dr. Miller completed a rotating internship at BluePearl in Irvine, CA, followed by three years of specialized surgical training at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital (Akron, OH), Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center (Las Vegas, NV), and Colorado Veterinary Specialty and Emergency (Boulder, CO). He further advanced his surgical expertise through a three-year residency with BluePearl in Minneapolis, MN. His extensive training includes soft tissue surgery, surgical oncology, and orthopedic procedures.

Dr. Miller joined the team at VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic in late 2025, where he is dedicated to providing compassionate, cutting-edge surgical care for every patient. With special expertise in minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy and laparoscopy, he combines precision with a personalized approach to ensure optimal outcomes. His commitment to advancing surgical care is matched only by his passion for improving the lives of his patients and their families.

Beyond the operating room, Dr. Miller enjoys outdoor adventures with his loyal companion, Ziggy, a Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix, who has been by his side since veterinary school. He also spends his free time kayaking, hiking, skiing, baking, and unwinding with a good book.
