**Update from Trail Breakers Vet that is coming in September.**
Good Afternoon from Trail Breaker Veterinary Services!
This is Dr. Iacobucci. I wanted to take a minute and touch base with you with some important updates for the second half of our year. I also want to apologize for the long wait time you've all experienced with our responsiveness. We've had some challenges this summer, but we are finding solutions and have a great plan for autumn.
The biggest update for you is that Hannah has made the decision to step away from Trail Breaker for the present time. She needs to focus her attention on her family currently, and we are proud to support her while she navigates this period. Please send her good vibes and keep her in your prayers. Trail Breaker is her dream business, as much as mine, and she will always be a part of it.
Obviously, without Hannah we have some great big shoes to fill and so our communication with you all has suffered a bit, but we're getting back on the horse. We've hired a new staff member, Amanda Meyer, to help with with scheduling and client communication, as well as attending clinics to cover more of the administrative tasks, leaving medical staff to do more medicine! Amanda has a background in social work and counseling, and she is currently working toward a post-graduate certificate in Veterinary Social Work. We also have experienced and wonderful veterinary technicians lined up to help with all the fall and winter clinics.
Thank you all for your patience as we get caught up. We know that the animal members of your family are important and we want you to feel confident in us are their medical care providers. If you have reached out with a question or to schedule an appointment, we are working to get back to you asap. Haines and Skagway are up first for clinics in September, then Cordova and Dillingham in October.
And a last unrelated but important note, the CDC has thankfully rolled back some of the new, strict rules regarding rabies documentation for border crossing. The process is much simpler now than when first released, and no longer requires a USDA endorsement. I am a USDA accredited veterinarian, so Hannah and I were gearing up to support you all in those new rules, but I am grateful the CDC acknowledged the hardship of those rules and listened to feedback. I will send another email concerning that topic soon.
Thank you all for being a part of Trail Breaker. We look forward to seeing you all soon! Dr. Iacobucci Trail Breaker Veterinary Services
