As pet parents ourselves, we know the bond you share with yours is special and one-of-a-kind. Pets are family. They rely on you to care for them day-to-day, and you can rely on us to provide compassionate care when called.

She began her professional career as a keeper for a big cat sanctuary, but has become a committed Veterinary Assistant.

When she is not caring for your fuzzy family members she’s spending time with her husband Jack, or cuddling her Iggy (Italian Greyhound) Archie!
Becky

She feels our clients and their pets are our top priority and enjoys getting to know them on a more personal level. Becky has always had a love for animals and is proud to work in a clinic with exceptional staff that share the same compassion and interests as her. Outside of the clinic, Becky enjoys spending time with her husband, family and friends. She has a very spoiled golden retriever named Joules.
Meet Rue
Hi, I’m Rue! I’m a rescue pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. My DNA test says I’m a mix of French Bulldog (29%), Boxer (18%), Bulldog (16%), and Cattle Dog (13%), but my humans just say I’m 100% adorable. With my brown and white coat, floppy ears, and expressive eyes, I’ve mastered the art of melting hearts—especially at the vet clinic, where I spend my days “working.”
