Byron Pet Clinic veterinary care!

Byron Pet Clinic is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary clinic providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required. The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-clinic surgery suite, in-house x-ray capabilities, a closely supervised hospitalization area, and separate dog and cat hospitalization wards.  At Byron Pet Clinic we strive to offer not only sound advice, but also optimal veterinary care, thus allowing you the enjoyment of your companion for a maximum number of years. Our job is not only to treat your pet when he or she isn’t feeling well, but also to help you learn how to keep your best friend happy and healthy.

Hi everyone my name is Nicole. I graduated from RCTC in 2013 with an AAS degree for veterinary technicians. I have been a technician since 2014 and started working for the Byron Pet Clinic in the summer of 2015. I love what I do, I get to work with cats and dogs and it never gets boring with all of the new and fascinating cases we get presented with. I live at home with my fur baby, Bandit. Like most cats, he likes to eat, sleep, and watch the birds and squirrels. When I’m not working I like to doing crafty things, such as string art, cross stitch, and making jewelry.
