Our Staff The
support staff at the hospital is a highly-trained, motivated team of
animal lovers. Our receptionists are experienced in working with you to
take care of your pet. They all have pets themselves - and have taken
courses in pet nutrition, animal training, pet counseling and computer
technology. Some of our invaluable technicians have gone through a
two-year course of study much like a human L.P.N. and have been trained
to assist in surgery, dentistry, radiography and laboratory analysis. |
