Please join us in welcoming our new veterinarian Dr. Germaine Germundson!❤️🐶
Dr. Germundson grew up in Carlsbad, California, and spent part of her childhood in Switzerland, where her passion for veterinary medicine began at an early age. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from St. George’s University in January 2026, completing her clinical training at Cornell University.
Before becoming a veterinarian, Dr. Germundson spent eight years working as an emergency and critical care veterinary technician in Carlsbad alongside Dr. Todd Bowdre. Her extensive background in emergency medicine shaped her clinical interests and strengthened her commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care. She is excited to reunite with Dr. Bowdre at San Marcos Boulevard Veterinary & Urgent Care, bringing her experience, dedication, and genuine love for animals back to the community she calls home.
Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Germundson enjoys traveling, rescuing and fostering kittens, and spending time with her four beloved cats: Bug, Amethyst, Blossom, and Gilda.
