My name is Stacey. I’ve been in the pet industry since the day I was born, literally. I was general manager of Pet Lodge Pet Resort for years. I’ve always been in love with animals and I’m so excited to be at Pet Care Animal Hospital. The three doctors here are top notch, the best of the best. They are kind and caring and this is why I chose to be at this clinic. I have two daughters and an amazing husband. We love the outdoors. Especially the pool! You can catch my family and I swimming at our pool or at the lake with our dog. His name is Goonie and while he can be stubborn sometimes, he’s is the greatest gift to our family. We also have two cats, Grey and Presley. They complete our little family.
