Janice became part of our team in December of 2007 and we are so glad to have her. Janice functions as a "Jack of All Trades" and wears many hats in the clinic, performing both client care and technical duties. She is presently learning more technician skills such as venipuncture and cystocentesis.
Janice has the all important job of surrogate mother to Babies, the Persian clinic cat. She cleans his face daily, grooms his coat with the Furminator comb and gives him a lion cut when needed. He pouts when she takes a day off!
