Dr. Katti Strahsmeier-Stoller is the owner and head veterinarian of BelaCoop Animal Hospital of North Park. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Dr. Stoller grew up with a love for animals and by the age of 7 she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. She grew up with 14 beagles and cherished going along with her dad to the vet. In highschool, she worked in kennels and different animal hospitals gaining experience. After graduating high school, she left to start her career as an Animal Science/Pre-Vet major at Virginia Tech University. After obtaining her Bachelor's degree, she continued onto graduate school in Poultry Nutrition at Virginia Tech University. After leaving her Master's program, she relocated to the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean and furthered her education at Ross Univeristy School of Veterinary Medicine. She subsequently returned to the United States to finish her clinical year of study at Purdue University, obtaining her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2006. From there, she worked on Cape Cod at Sandwich Animal Hospital for 3 years, met the love of her life and moved back to Pittsburgh. She obtained a job working emergency medicine for the next 3 years and married her husband, Sam. Katti then went on to do relief work in shelter medicine for the Western PA Humane Society and White Oak Animal Safe Haven. Katti and Sam decided to make Katti's dreams come true and open their own animal hospital. They wanted to make the animal hospital special and name it after their two dogs, Bela and Cooper, that have both passed away. Sam and Katti currently have two cats that were rescued from the island of St. Kitts. They are also fostering a Golden Retriever/Hound mix named Pepper, who they are hoping to keep. Katti's beloved dog, Cooper, whom this practice is named after, was such a big part of her life as well. Her special interests include oncology, exotic medicine, emergency medicine and seizure disorders.
