To round out our Vet Tech Appreciation week, we are giving a huge shout-out to our amazing Florida team! 🌴 THE MAGGIES OF WELLINGTON

Whether they’re assisting with therapy treatments, managing scheduling appointments, or ensuring every horse gets the best care possible, they do it all with professionalism and heart. 💪💙

Maggie Berry is the reason our FL office runs like a well-oiled (and very friendly) machine. She keeps the office clean — and your day-to-day even cleaner. Need something? She’s already on it (and smiling while she does it).

Maggie Mulligan has an addiction… and it’s called helping. From horse therapies to vet assists, she does it all, knows everyone, and forgot where the barn is? Maggie M knows.

Cross-trained, unstoppable, and always up for anything — these two keep Fairfield South running like a charm. 💙
