Last but not least in our Veterinary Technician & Assistant Week spotlight series is our Lead Certified Veterinary Technician, Katie! 🩺🐾
Katie began her veterinary journey at Minooka Animal Hospital in July 2013, and we’re so lucky to have her now at Mallard Point! She brings knowledge, dedication, and plenty of heart to everything she does. From helping her team to caring for our patients, she’s someone we can always count on. ❤
Around the clinic, Katie is our Comfort Expert! She has a natural way of helping our patients feel safe, calm, and cared for, making even the most nervous pets feel a little more at ease. 🥰
At home, Katie has quite the crew! Ava Lynn & Anne Frank “Anna” (both pictured) are full sisters and, as Katie puts it, "her dream dogs all rolled into one—part Dachshund, Husky, Saluki, Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier"! She also has DoeDoe, a domestic shorthair cat who’s convinced she’s one of the dogs, along with her fur niece Dakota “Koda,” fur nephew Oliver “Ollie,” and whatever barn kitties decide to show up! 🐶🐱
When she’s not at the clinic, Katie enjoys horseback riding, walking her dogs and cat, and being an auntie! 🐴❤
She’s a country music fan, loves reality shows, and if you really want to make her happy, you can’t go wrong with pasta salad, Dr. Pepper, Twix, or coffee! ☕️🍝🥤🍫
Help us show Katie some love this National Veterinary Technician/Assistant Week! We’re so grateful for the dedication and care she brings to our team and our patients every day! 💕
