Kaylin Rackley, DVMDr. Kaylin Rackley has been seeing patients with Kings Highway since February 2022. Dr. Rackley had this to share about herself:
"I grew up outside of Waco, Texas. I completed my bachelors degree at Colorado State, where I also met my husband. I then went to Oklahoma State for Vet School. After Graduation I returned to Texas and we fell in love with this area. I love gardening, especially using native plants that attract birds. I also enjoy hiking and camping with the dogs. I have been enjoying my time at Kings Highway and am looking forward to seeing more patients!" |

Glenn Pape, DVMDr. Glenn Pape was the founder of Kings Highway Animal Clinic. Dr. Pape grew up in the San Marcos area and attended Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State University). He graduated from Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1978. He opened the practice in 1980 and it moved to its' current location in 1997.
Dr. Pape was cherished and respected by many in the San Marcos and surrounding community for his compassion and devotion to his patients and clients, and his special love for cantankerous cats. He was always willing to share his time, skills and knowledge with anyone who needed it, whether it be family, employees or clients. Dr. Pape was a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Comal County Veterinary Medical Association, and a lifetime member of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Pape also served on the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee for Texas State University. Outside of work, Dr. Pape enjoyed ranching Angus cattle with his family, working on various building projects, and spending time with his "herd" of Bengal/Abyssinian cats. Dr. Pape passed away on November 7th, 2016. Dr. Pape is survived by his wife Barbara and their son Rex. It is our goal at Kings Highway Animal Clinic to honor his legacy by continuing to provide the high quality care and service that Dr. Pape provided to his clients and patients for over 30 years. |
