As we close out Staff Appreciation Week, we saved someone very special for last. Someone who means so much to us, not just as a doctor or boss, but as a friend, mentor, and someone we're incredibly fortunate to have in our lives. If you've spent any time at Anclote Animal Hospital, chances are you've experienced her kindness, heard her contagious laugh, or witnessed just how much she cares. Of course, we're talking about our very own Dr. J!

For so many years, Dr. J has been a familiar face and trusted veterinarian in the Tarpon Springs community. Her knowledge, experience, and remarkable surgical abilities never cease to amaze us. Whether performing a complicated surgery, treating a beloved family pet, or helping an injured animal of just about any species, she approaches every challenge with confidence and compassion. Despite her years of experience, she never stops learning and expanding her medical knowledge. She's also an incredible mentor to our other doctors, always available to offer guidance or talk through a difficult case.

What makes Dr. J equally special is the person she is beyond the exam room. No matter how hectic the day becomes, her calm presence and sense of humor make everything feel a little easier. Somehow, she balances being a veterinarian, business owner, mom, and Yia Yia, yet Anclote is never far from her thoughts. Whether staying up late creating apps for our team, brainstorming ways to improve patient care, or checking in on patients on her day off, she's always looking for ways to make Anclote Animal Hospital a better place for our clients, patients, and team.

Above all, Dr. J has helped shape Anclote into a hospital where exceptional patient care and a supportive, close-knit team go hand in hand. We don't know how she manages to do it all, but she does it with grace, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Anclote Animal Hospital wouldn't be what it is today without her, and we're incredibly proud to work alongside her. We love you, Dr. J!

WOW. Between our wonderful clients, food and snacks the clinic provided, and some of our generous vendors, our staff was fed ALL WEEK LONG! For a crew who thrives on snacks, and food is DEFINITELY the way to our hearts, our cups are FULL! THANK YOU to all who have commented, shared our posts, liked our posts, brought food and gifts, or said kind words while in the clinic. We are really feeling the love this week and hope to carry it with us into the coming weeks and months (not as all the extra pounds we gained this week, though)! We have the best staff, but we also have the best clients and we are so very blessed. Thank you❤️

It’s the final day of Staff Appreciation Week at Anclote, and it’s time to celebrate the girl bosses! First up this morning is DR. DITSON!!

Dr. Ditson is an incredibly talented veterinarian who brings a tremendous amount of knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail to our Anclote family!

Meticulous and thorough, Dr. Ditson loves a good challenge! Give her a complicated medical case, a puzzling set of symptoms, or an opportunity to dig a little deeper into a diagnostic workup, and she’s in her element! She leaves no stone unturned when it comes to finding answers and providing the very best care for her patients.

But what makes Dr. Ditson so special isn’t just her medical expertise. It’s the relationships she builds with her patients and their families. From those first exciting puppy and kitten visits through the challenges of their senior years, she takes such wonderful care of the animals entrusted to her. She gets to know them, their personalities, their families, and their stories, and she genuinely cares about every one of them.

This year has been an especially exciting one for Dr. Ditson AND for Anclote! She officially became a PARTNER in our hospital!! 🎉💙 She’s always been an important part of our team, but this year she’s invested even more of her time, energy, and heart into helping lead our hospital and shape its future. Having someone who cares so deeply about our patients, our people, and the future of Anclote step into this role means more than I can say. Building something you love is one thing, but getting to share that vision with someone who believes in it too is pretty special. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter together!

And when she’s not busy solving medical mysteries or helping keep Anclote moving forward, she’s got a whole different kind of busy waiting for her at home! Between her husband and two young girls, we’re pretty sure there’s never a dull moment! 😂💕

Dr. Ditson is a wonderful veterinarian, a dedicated leader, and such an important part of what makes Anclote special. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she brings to our hospital, and we’re so excited for this next chapter together!

Help us show Dr. Ditson some love!!

Next up, we’re celebrating DR. ST. PIERRE!!

Dr. St. Pierre’s journey with Anclote Animal Hospital is a pretty special one, and it actually started about TEN years ago!

She first walked through our doors as a volunteer, eventually joining our team as a kennel assistant, then receptionist, veterinary technician, and ultimately our lead technician before heading off to veterinary school. And last September, we were lucky enough to welcome her BACK — this time as DR. St. Pierre!! 🥹

Watching her grow from an eager young volunteer into the incredible veterinarian she is today has been such a privilege, and we couldn’t be prouder to have her back home at Anclote!

Dr. St. Pierre truly embodies everything we believe veterinary medicine should be. She cares deeply about every patient who comes through our doors and the people who love them. She wants to make sure every pet who needs care gets seen, every question gets answered, and no stone is left unturned when it comes to helping her patients.

She is incredibly thorough, hardworking, and passionate about educating her clients. She doesn’t just want to tell you what your pet needs — she wants you to understand WHY. And she’ll happily take the time to explain every detail! 😂

What makes Dr. St. Pierre so special isn’t just her medical knowledge or her dedication to her patients. It’s that she genuinely believes in the kind of compassionate, personal, neighborhood veterinary care that Anclote was built on. She doesn’t just practice our philosophy — she lives it.

There's something incredibly rewarding about watching someone grow up in your hospital, chase their dreams, and then come back to help carry forward the very vision that started it all.

We are so grateful that her journey brought her right back to where it all began. Having her as part of our doctor team is truly something special, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful things her future holds!

Help us show Dr. St. Pierre some love!!

Next up, we’re celebrating DR. PUTNEY!!

Dr. Putney joined our Anclote family in January 2025, and it’s hard to believe she’s already coming up on TWO years with us!

A local girl and Mississippi State graduate, Dr. Putney brings a wonderful combination of intelligence, compassion, and attention to detail to our doctor team. She is incredibly thoughtful and thorough in her approach to medicine, carefully considering every piece of the puzzle to make sure her patients receive the best possible care.

One of the things that makes Dr. Putney so special is the time she takes with her clients. She doesn’t just explain what’s happening with their pets — she takes the time to walk through the details, answer questions, discuss options, and make sure families truly understand their pets’ care. Her gentle, soft-spoken nature and genuine compassion make her a wonderful advocate for both her patients and the people who love them.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Putney enjoys exploring new places, spending time with family and friends, and trying new restaurants. And speaking of adventures, she’s had a pretty exciting year herself, including a trip to ITALY and getting MARRIED!! 🇮🇹💍🥰

We are so grateful for the knowledge, dedication, and heart Dr. Putney brings to Anclote every day. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does, and we’re lucky to have her as part of our team!

Help us show Dr. Putney some love (and some newlywed congratulations!)!!

Continuing with Staff Appreciation Week, it’s time to celebrate our DOCTOR TEAM!!

Our veterinarians are the heart of the medicine we practice here at Anclote Animal Hospital! They’re the ones tasked with putting together all the pieces of the puzzle, making difficult decisions, and finding the best possible solutions for our patients and the families who love them.

Being a veterinarian is about SO much more than loving animals (although that’s certainly a requirement! 😂). It’s about years of education, constantly learning as medicine evolves, thinking on your feet, and sometimes having to make really tough decisions when there isn’t a perfect answer.

Our doctors wear a LOT of hats! They’re detectives, surgeons, dentists, educators, problem solvers, and sometimes even therapists. They celebrate the happy puppy and kitten visits, work tirelessly through complicated medical cases, and sit beside families during some of the hardest moments of their lives. And somehow, they manage to do all of that while keeping up with an endless mountain of medical records! 😂

At Anclote, we’ve always believed there’s something special about being your neighborhood veterinarian. We get to know our patients, their families, their quirks, and their stories. We celebrate their milestones, help navigate their challenges, and sometimes have the privilege of caring for generation after generation of a family’s beloved pets. It’s those relationships that make what we do so meaningful.

We’re fortunate to have a team of doctors who each bring their own unique strengths, personalities, and approaches to medicine, but who share that same commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate, individualized care. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just treating patients. We’re caring for members of our community, and that’s a responsibility we take to heart. 💙

Stay tuned for individual posts coming up today and tomorrow celebrating Dr. Juaristic, Dr. Ditson, Dr. Putney, and Dr. St. Pierre as we close out this week!

Veterinary medicine isn’t always easy, but we wouldn’t trade the relationships we’ve built or the privilege of caring for your furry family members for anything!

10/22/2026

Next up, we’re celebrating our wonderful practice manager, DANIELLE!! 💙🐾

Danielle joined our Anclote family in January of last year and has been helping keep all of our moving pieces moving ever since! She is incredibly organized and works hard behind the scenes to keep our hospital running smoothly. And believe me, with all the personalities, patients, clients, and daily surprises that come with veterinary medicine, that is NO small task! 😂

One of the things we appreciate most about Danielle is how hard she works to make sure our team feels heard. Managing people isn’t always easy, and she genuinely wants everyone to feel supported and know that their voices matter. She tries to bring positivity to every situation and can strike up a conversation with just about ANYONE!

Outside of Anclote, Danielle is an animal lover through and through, with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and ducks making up her own little zoo! She’s also incredibly artistic and creative, with a taste for the finer things in life (she’s a little bougie, and we love her for it! 😂💅), but she’s also not afraid to get her hands dirty!

Danielle brings organization, creativity, personality, and a whole lot of heart to Anclote. We appreciate the hard work she puts into our hospital and the effort she makes to keep our team moving forward!

Help us show Danielle some love today!!

This morning, we’re celebrating our LEADERSHIP TEAM!!

Behind every great team are people working hard to keep things moving in the right direction, and at Anclote, we’re lucky to have a group of leaders who care deeply about our hospital, our patients, our clients, and most importantly, our people!

You’ve already met Amber, our lead technician, and Kayla, our lead receptionist, who work so hard to support their respective teams while juggling all the responsibilities that come with their own jobs. Being a leader isn’t always easy, especially when you’re right there in the trenches with everyone else!

Our leadership team also includes partners Dr. Ditson and Dr. Juaristic, who work together to guide the medical side of our hospital, and of course Danielle, our practice manager, who somehow manages to keep track of about a million moving pieces every single day!

We all bring different personalities, strengths, ideas, and perspectives to the table. We don’t always agree on everything, but at the end of the day, we all want the same thing. We want Anclote to be a place where our team feels supported and valued, our patients receive excellent care, and our clients know how much we genuinely care about them.

Leadership isn’t always easy, and none of us are perfect, but we keep learning, growing, and doing our best for this little Anclote family that means so much to us.

Stay tuned because up next we’re celebrating Danielle, our wonderful practice manager!!
