A very special appreciation post for our receptionist Susan !!

This week celebrates Veterinarian Receptionists and all the hard work they do to help our clinic run smoothly. On top of being the friendly face when you come in the clinic and the helpful, cheerful voice on the phone Susan does so much more for the clinic. She is our favourite “bum holder” for wiggly pups, treat-giver for all our furry patients, “chaos coordinator” of appointments and bookings and so so much more!! We don’t know what we do without her!! ❤️❤️

Please join us in celebrating her and all the other wonderful Veterinary Receptionists this week.
