Our LVT Spotlight series is all about introducing you to the incredible Licensed Veterinary Technicians behind the care your pets receive every day. Their knowledge, experience, and compassion are an essential part of every visit, and we're excited to help you get to know them a little better!

This week, we're excited to introduce Evelyn!

Evelyn has been in veterinary medicine for 3½ years and has been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 3 years. One of the things she loves most about veterinary medicine is the detective work that goes into each case.

Whether it's putting together clues, gathering information, or helping uncover the cause of a pet's illness, Evelyn enjoys solving the puzzle and being part of the team that helps patients get the answers they need.

When it comes to her strongest skill, Evelyn proudly claims handling spicy cats! In fact, she says, "If there's a cat in the building, I'll probably meet it." We have a feeling many of our feline patients know exactly who to look for!

Her busy shift essentials are green tea and lip balm, the perfect combination to keep her going throughout the day. 🍵

Outside of work, Evelyn loves taking advantage of everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer. She enjoys hiking, birdwatching, and thrifting, and says she feels lucky to live in a place that's perfect for all three.

At home, Evelyn has quite the crew:
🐱 Kiki
🐱 Oliver
🐹 Poppy, her adorable gerbil

Around the hospital, you may hear her coworkers call her "Evey."

One thing Evelyn wants every client to know about being an LVT:

"I really love getting to know pets and their owners in this tight knit community. It makes caring for patients feel incredibly special!"

Thank you, Evelyn, for the kindness, curiosity, and dedication you bring to our patients every day. We're so grateful to have you as part of the Bayshore family! 💙🐾

At 204 pounds, Sissy is one big girl.

At heart? She’s convinced she’s a 10-pound Chihuahua. ❤️ She happily climbed onto our waiting room bench like she belonged there, and honestly, we think she did.

Not every caterpillar is a garden pest. Many are the next generation of beautiful butterflies and fascinating moths that help support our local ecosystem.

The next time you spot a fuzzy (or not-so-fuzzy) little crawler, take a moment to see what it might become. You may be looking at a future monarch, luna moth, swallowtail, or another incredible pollinator.

Check out the graphic to see who grows into who and remember... today's caterpillar could be tomorrow's butterfly. 💚

This week, we're excited to introduce Olivia! 💙

Olivia has been in veterinary medicine for 8½ years and recently became a Licensed Veterinary Technician, earning her license just 5 months ago. While she's proud of reaching this milestone, one of her favorite things about veterinary medicine is that there's always something new to learn.

Olivia says she loves that even as a licensed technician, she's still gaining new skills and knowledge every day. It's that commitment to learning and growing that helps her provide the best possible care for every patient she meets.

She feels especially confident in anesthesia, patient care, and client communication, three areas that play a huge role in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their visit.

One thing Olivia can't make it through a busy shift without? Caffeine! (We have a feeling many of our team members would agree!)

Outside of work, Olivia loves making the most of everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer. You'll often find her hiking, biking, kayaking, working out, spending time with her dogs, or taking a dip in beautiful Lake Superior.

Speaking of dogs, Olivia and her husband share their home with four pups: Bear, Bernard, Hamlet, and Griswald. And here's a fun fact... all four of their boys walked down the aisle at their wedding!

Around the hospital, you might hear Olivia answer to "Liv" or "Livy." 😊

Thank you, Olivia, for your passion for learning and the compassionate care you provide every day. Congratulations again on becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician. We're excited to watch you continue to grow in your career and are proud to have you as part of the Bayshore family! 💙🐾

Meet Karl Bohnak!
The students in a local classroom named this handsome guy because his little mustache looks just like the Upper Peninsula. We thought it was pretty clever! 😸

This week, we're excited to introduce Laura! 💙

Laura has been in veterinary medicine for 23 years and has been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 19 years. In 2023, she became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner, allowing her to help dogs regain strength, mobility, and confidence after injury or surgery.

Laura's favorite part of veterinary medicine is working alongside pet parents to improve their dogs' quality of life through rehabilitation. Watching patients make progress and celebrating each milestone with their families is one of the most rewarding parts of her career.

One of the skills Laura feels most confident in is teaching pet owners how to perform therapeutic exercises at home. She loves empowering families to continue their dog's recovery outside of the hospital because she believes strengthening the human animal bond is one of the most meaningful parts of being an LVT.

When it comes to making it through a busy day, Laura has one requirement... coffee! Her favorites are a caffè mocha or a pistachio latte.

Outside of work, Laura enjoys listening to live music of almost every genre, except country, and playing a Goliath Warlock in her husband's Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

Laura also shares her home with two wonderful pets:
🐶 Lada, a 14 year old mixed breed dog who loves long walks followed by even longer naps.
🐱 Jax, a 1 year old black domestic shorthair who enjoys starring in his dad's Zoom meetings... and somehow always knows the litter box has just been cleaned.

Around the hospital, Laura answers to the nickname "Lar Par."

Thank you, Laura, for your dedication to helping pets stay active, comfortable, and mobile. Your passion for rehabilitation and your commitment to teaching pet owners make a lasting difference in the lives of so many families. We're proud to have you as part of the Bayshore team! 💙🐾
