Good Morning, Argo Animal Clinic family!

As many of you have noticed, our beloved veterinarian Dr. Johnson has been absent from the
clinic. Due to some health complications, he had to step back and reduce his workload. In
December, Dr. Johnson underwent open-heart surgery, but we are happy to announce that he is
now back and better than ever!

Dr. Johnson is eager to see his loyal clients in the exam rooms once again. He will be available
on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM for consultations.

We are very excited that Dr. Johnson has decided to return to serve our community. Thank you
all for your continued support and trust in our clinic.

Happy National Women in Science Day! Celebrating the incredible women who are breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of scientists. "

I want to celebrate 2 of our most deserving women

Kaitlyn Chesser, who is our head vet tech.

I have been with Argo Animal Clinic for 13 years. I started off in the kennels and now hold the veterinary technician supervisor role in the clinic. I have always had a passion for animal care and knew I would work with animals for my career in some capacity. I really enjoy working on all the precious babies that we see on a daily basis and getting to see them grow older and be a part of their health and wellbeing. I have learned SO much in my years working here and hope to be able to continue growing in my knowledge of vet med. I have been married for 10 years and have a daughter who most have probably seen running around here named Gerogia. and I have a border collie mix named Mia and a black kitty named Black Panther. In my free time I like to spend time at home with my family and enjoying the outdoors. I love trying new restaurants also. One of my favorite ways to relax is to put together Lego sets and watch a good movie.

"Think of our head vet tech as the backbone of our clinic. They're highly trained professionals who perform a variety of crucial roles. They assist the vet during exams and procedures, run lab tests, administer medications, and provide essential nursing care to animals. They're also a valuable resource for clients, answering questions and providing guidance on pet care."

Jana Walton
Bio: I started in the veterinary field in 2001 as a kennel assistant at a small practice in Prattville, AL. Throughout the last 24 years I have worked at a couple of other veterinary hospitals and an emergency hospital and received a lot of hands- on training. I received my Animal Sciences Degree in 2016 and became a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have always had a love for animals, (Australian Cattle Dogs are my favorite breed of dog. Don’t tell the others.) and dreamed of working in the animal field. I have worked at Argo Animal Clinic for a year and a half, and I love all of my patients and our clients. My husband and I are owned by 3 cattle dogs, one big, goofy mutt, a couple of chihuahuas, a pomeranian and 2 cats. In our free time we love to visit Mt. Cheaha and hike with our cattle dogs. �Licensed Vet Tech
