Same-Day, Urgent Care, Walk-Ins and Drop-Off's Welcome!

Meet Dr. Áine Schanche
Co-Owner, Medical Director, VMDDr. Áine Schanche is the Medical Director and Co-Owner at TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Davidson. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Swarthmore College in 2016 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2020.
Following veterinary school, Dr. Schanche completed an internship at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists in Rhode Island before transitioning into small animal general practice at a hospital outside of Boston. She joined the TotalBond family in 2021, primarily working at the TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Bethel. In 2023, she transitioned to the Davidson location.
Dr. Schanche has a special interest in ultrasound and brought with her the capability to perform full abdominal ultrasounds, which can be reviewed by a board-certified radiologist. Her other professional interests include surgery and preventative care. She was inspired to pursue veterinary medicine after spending several weeks shadowing mixed animal veterinarians in Ireland and falling in love with the rewarding and ever-changing nature of the field. For Dr. Schanche, the most fulfilling part of being a veterinarian is educating clients and empowering them to help their pets live healthier, happier lives.
Although Dr. Schanche grew up in northern New Jersey, her mother is from Ireland and her father is from Norway. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her 8-year-old standard schnauzer, Siggi, and her 2-year-old corgi/mini Aussie, Suki. She also loves spending time with family and friends, eating good food, hiking, exercising, and reading. Dr. Schanche is proud to be part of the TotalBond team and looks forward to meeting you and your pets.
