Brady Pratt, DVM
Practice Owner & Lead Veterinarian
Born and raised in the charming town of Crystal River, Florida, Dr. Brady Pratt has always had a knack for science and a soft spot for animals. After graduating with honors from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Microbiology and Cell Science (and a minor in Chemistry, just for fun), he headed to Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine to turn his lifelong dream into reality.
Dr. Pratt’s journey in veterinary medicine has been nothing short of exciting. After gaining invaluable experience in general practice and emergency medicine, he spent nine successful years running his own small animal practice in North Florida. But his heart called him back to Citrus County, where he now brings his expertise in orthopedic and advanced soft tissue surgery to our team.
When he’s not in the operating room, Dr. Pratt can be found enjoying life with his wife, Brittany, their four energetic kids, and their two beloved pets: Penny, a playful Labrador retriever, and Applebottom, the sassy family cat. An avid outdoorsman, he’s happiest when he’s fishing, boating, or simply soaking up the Florida sunshine.

She and her husband are the proud parents of four energetic kids, a sweet Labrador named Penny, and a clever cat named Applebottom. Whether she’s boating on the water or curling up with a good book, Brittany always finds joy in life’s simple pleasures. Her favorite pastime? Cherished moments with her loved ones.
