She also has an interest in nutrition and ran a Weightloss program at her last clinic using the Hills program.

Outside of work Kasey enjoys spending time with her very active Labrador Charlie Brown, going to the gym and spending time outside.

Kasey loves working with the Mivet team, especially when we have Chinese lunches!

Our resident meet, greet and sniffer, Ricky loves to spend his days here at the clinic making sure all the other patients have a little buddy.

Oh…and keeping the nurses laps warm.

Outside of work, Ricky lives for running – with built in springs it’s tough to keep this little guy still.
