Angiolina Trump-Ledford - Veterinarian

Dr. Angiolina Trump-Ledford has been with Hardin Valley Animal Hospital since August 2022.

An East Tennessee native, she grew up on a beef farm where she enjoyed working with cattle and spending time with her horses, sheep, dogs and cats. She received a bachelor of science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in 1998 from the University of Tennessee where she also studied animal science. Since graduating from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003, she has been practicing small animal medicine in the Knoxville area.

From an early age she had a strong connection with her pets, her livestock, and even wildlife. Time and experience has only deepened her love of animals and her interest in the human-animal bond. In this vein, she has a special interest in Behavior Medicine and Low-Stress Handling.

She is a Level 3 Fear Free professional committed to preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets and has pledged to try to inspire and educate people who care for them. The emotional health of the animal directly affects their physical health just as it does for us.

She believes that consideration of both is essential to fulfilling the veterinarian’s oath to protect animal health and prevent and relieve suffering. She enjoys caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, other small mammals and the occasional reptile.

Dr. Trump-Ledford has one son, two cats, and two dogs. When she is not working, she enjoys reading, exercise, being outside, listening to live music, and spending time with family and friends.
