Our Team
Enid, OK Veterinarians
Gerald F. Weinand, Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Gerald Weinand understands the important role pets play in the lives of the families who love them. That's why he's been helping families by caring for their pets since he joined Wheatland Animal Clinic in 1971. Dr. Weinand is a member of the American Veterinary Medicine Association and the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association. His primary area of professional interest is general veterinary practice.
A Guthrie, OK native, Dr. Weinand graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Science. He went on to earn his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he was a member of FarmHouse Fraternity, Omega Tau Sigma, Phi Zeta and Phi Kappa Phi and a captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps.
Outside work, Dr. Weinand is an active member of St. Gregory's Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America. He also enjoys running, biking, skiing, mountain climbing and Boy Scouts of America activities. He and his wife Marsha have three children and six grandchildren.
Leslie D. Dykstra, DVM
Dr. Leslie Dykstra's first experience successfully healing a beloved pet happened early in her childhood. "I had a mare that had a laceration on her leg when I was about 10 years old," she recalls. "I doctored [the wound] and it healed without a scar." Now as a veterinarian, she finds great reward in being able to be the voice of animals who can't speak and putting together the pieces of a symptomatic puzzle to make the right diagnosis, as well as the close doctor-pet owner-patient relationships that result from her work.
Dr. Dykstra, who joined the Wheatland Animal Clinic in August 2010, earned her Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a Chemistry minor from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. While there, she was a member of Beta Beta Beta, a biological honor society, and founded a pre-veterinary medicine club. She earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Dykstra is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association and her professional interests include general and internal medicine.
At home, Dr. Dykstra and her husband Jason have two children along with a variety of animals. She enjoys spending her free time with her family, riding horses, hiking and reading.
Kara Ennen, Associate Veterinarian
Associate Veterinarian Dr. Kara Ennen joined our team in June 2015 after graduating from Oklahoma State University's Center for Veterinary Health Sciences. She completed her undergraduate studies at Oklahoma State University, where she majored in Animal Science.
"I went into college knowing I wanted to work in healthcare," she says. "By the second semester, I just felt like animal healthcare was where I needed to be."
Growing up on a family farm in Greenfield, Dr. Ennen helped raise cattle from a young age. She also gained valuable experience by completing two internships at veterinary clinics.
"(The) most memorable patients are the ones that go from being so sick they barely move to coming back in bright and full of energy," she says.
With her veterinary interests focused on general practice, Dr. Ennen most enjoys putting clients' minds at ease through doing whatever she can to "make their pet feel better and act more like themselves again."
Dr. Ennen is a pet parent to two shelter-adopted dogs, Murphy and Sammy, and a cat named Bobby. She enjoys listening to music, collecting records, fishing, catching the occasional OSU football or basketball game, and spending time with her family.
