Dr Rainey graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture. He received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1973. He takes a common sense approach to medicine, focusing on quality of life. This philosophy has led to adding acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine to services offered. The Rainey family is very musical, and has six dogs, 3 cats, and horses.
