Dr. Margaret Anderson

Dr. Margaret Anderson has loved horses ever since she was a little girl. That passion simply never wavered—she’s always wanted to help pets in whatever way she could. Dr. Anderson was only 13 years old when she decided that she would one day become a professional animal doctor! Now, she’s proud to better the lives of pets and animal parents as the lead veterinarian and owner of Benson Animal Hospital.

Dr. Anderson is originally from eastern North Carolina and grew up in the mountains of Asheville before moving to Raleigh for her collegiate studies. She attended North Carolina State University for her undergraduate coursework and was then accepted into the University’s veterinary school—Dr. Anderson completed her studies in 1988 and has been a practicing veterinarian ever since. She has particular interests in surgical work and preventative care, but her favorite part of the job is educating pet owners about their beloved companions’ health and wellness needs.

When she’s not helping pets and animal owners here at the hospital, Dr. Anderson enjoys reading mystery novels, visiting national parks and zoos with her family, and enjoying the company of her own pets at home. Along with her husband, Anthony, and their two daughters, Erica and Amilia, Dr. Anderson shares her life with five cats, a pair of dogs, two potbellied pigs, a guinea pig, a turkey, and a chicken!

Dana Danger

Dana has owned pets all her life, and she was a client here at Benson Animal Hospital for many years. When she was looking for a new opportunity in the summer of 2015, a position opened at the clinic, and Dana jumped at her chance. She’s been here ever since, and is proud to serve the area’s pets and animal parents as a member of the hospital family!

Dana attended North Carolina State University to earn her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and has worked in the scientific field for more than 20 years. Now, she helps out here at the hospital on weekends, and especially likes caring for pets who are boarding with the clinic. In addition to her responsibilities here at Benson Animal Hospital, Dana is very active with a local animal rescue organization and finds that her hands-on experience here at the hospital helps with all of her animal welfare efforts!

When she isn’t helping pets to live happier, healthier lives, Dana likes spending time with her menagerie of animal companions at home, gardening, snow-skiing and kayaking, and traveling. She even owns a creek-side cabin in Virginia and loves to visit when the weather is nice.
