Dr. Shannon Slack is the Medical Director of Campbell Park Animal Hospital. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2011. Prior to that, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Oklahoma State University.
Dr. Slack is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, the Dallas County Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners. She also manages Campbell Park’s Feline Friendly Certification.
Dr. Slack is originally from Ontario, Canada but moved to Plano in 1996. Growing up, she always had a menagerie of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses and orphaned wild bunnies and birds. She attended Plano West Senior High School where she met her husband, Ryan. Together they have two sons, Spencer and Logan.
In her free time, she enjoys taking the kids on adventures around Dallas, reading and spending time at Lake Cypress Springs.
Dr. Ricketts received her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in May, 2018 (WHOOP!). She received her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from OSU in 2014 (so ‘GO POKES’ too).
She joined the Campbell Park Family right after graduation and couldn’t be happier with the amazing clients and patients here!
Dr. Ricketts grew up moving all over the country (from Georgia to Indiana to Tennessee), but fortunately found her way to Texas as a teenager, where she attended John Paul II High School. She happily agrees with the saying “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!”.
She recently purchased a home in Richardson which she shares with her fluffy but ferocious mutt, Bennett.
Dr. Shaye Hohner was born and raised in Oklahoma City. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas A&M University in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science. She received her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University in 2004.
In her spare time, Dr. Hohner enjoys baking, attending church, taking care of her cats and German Shepherd, and spending as much time as possible with her four kids.
Bridget originally joined our practice in 1997 as a kennel assistant and receptionist before leaving to pursue her college degree.
After earning her Bachelor’s from UNT, she continued managing in the retail setting with the intention of becoming a buyer. However, her first love of animals brought her back to Campbell Park in 2009. After working as a technician and managing the hospital’s drug and supply inventory, Bridget became the Practice Manager in July 2016. Her primary goal is to make sure that Campbell Park continues to provide a high standard of care in a professional environment to all of our patients.
Bridget was born and raised with her five siblings here in Dallas. She cannot imagine calling anywhere else home!
She lives in Richardson with her daughter Maggie, Chihuahua mix Schatzie and Cocker Spaniel mix Darby. She loves reading, running, and spending time with her family.

Our kennel assistants maintain a clean and healthy environment for all the pets being treated and boarded at our hospital. Their role is to care for the pets that are boarding with us, ensuring that boarders have clean ‘rooms’, are fed according to instruction, and spend ample time on walks during the day. They also provide baths and nail trims for our patients, both when boarding and as drop-offs. They are attentive and affectionate to each dog and cat, making their visits and stays with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
