Every one of our kennel attendants is compassionate to the animals and thorough in their cleaning duties. They are the reason that our clinic remains presentable. Although they work "behind" the scenes, their dedication to our clinic is irreplaceable.
Clinic Mascots, Lil Dude and Frankie are our resident cats. The boys came to us in the Fall of 2009, we fell in love and had to keep them both. When in the clinic you're sure to notice them as they are very social and curious. Please excuse the tape on some of the food bags but our boys have a bad habit of chewing holes in the them!
Dude is our old clinic cat. Dude came to us 20 years ago as a stray kitten. Dude spends most of his time in the back of the Clinic eatting and sleeping.
