Melinda D. Luper

Dr. Luper received her DVM degree from Oklahoma State University in 2001. She began Practicing in Tulsa, OK, and over the seven years she worked there, she honed her surgical skills on many types of animals. She also worked as a veterinarian for an exotic animal sanctuary, treating kangaroos, monkeys, lions, tigers, and bears. One of her proudest accomplishments was performing a blood transfusion on one of the sanctuary’s lemurs! In 2008, Dr. Luper moved to Houston and quickly became the senior veterinarian for a large veterinary hospital while also continuing her education in holistic therapies. Nutrition has always been a focal point of her practice, including the education of pet owners on the benefits of feeding their animals high-quality food. In August 2018, she opened her own practice, Fur & Feather Veterinary Hospital. She loves an integrative approach using both traditional medicine and surgery and incorporating holistic protocols for a whole body approach.
