Preston Ayers, DVM joined Frey Pet Hospital after graduating from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. Growing up on the banks of St. Croix River in Stillwater, Minnesota, his family moved to Des Moines, where he finished high school. His love of animals and veterinary medicine began early by catching snakes and birds with his dog in the woods. Dr. Ayers has a special interest in regenerative medicine, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and oral surgery. His wife Amanda is part of the Frey Pet Hospital family, and together they have one daughter. Their household stays extra busy with their two dogs, Newman “The Outdoorsman” and LeeRoy Jenkins, and one cat, Topaz. In his spare time, Dr. Ayers enjoys camping, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and watching sporting events (especially the ISU Cyclones!) One of his favorite times is an annual trip to the Boundary Waters Canoeing Area in northern Minnesota.
